It has been in the moments where I have felt an awakening, life-stirring, exhilarating feeling when a revelation strikes – in something as little as realizing the perfect next sentence in this post.

Or I could be overflowing with as many as thirty-eight ideas over a quick rinse in the bathroom sink, then be rushing to jot them down as they pour out.

Or that electrifying feeling of having what seems like a never-ending supply of ideas, the surprise that comes with the next idea unforeseen to your mind till it has been revealed, or the excitement of all the possibilities that lingering in its execution – ideas are what interest me in their entirety. Everything from the science behind the formation of ideas, recording them, making them more welcome in your mind, the storytelling in bringing them to life so they can touch someone else. And these ideas are encompassed by the art and skill of creativity.

For the longest time, I dismissed creativity as too niche of a subject but eventually came to realize that ideas are the one thing across every niche, every subject, every discovery – the constant behind it all. And that’s when I decided to trust the potential of the mind to endlessly coming up with new ideas, if given the right space and tools for it – which is exactly what I would like to focus on. I hope you join me on this journey of wonder and possibility.
