I think people forget that creativity is inherently feminine, not in the sense of identity, but as a principle. It is intuition before logic, creation before control, feeling before certainty and to reject that part of yourself is to distance yourself from the very place art is born. It becomes harder to connect, harder to transform experience into meaning. Art asks you to be receptive before it asks you to be skilled. Creativity isn’t only an act of making, it’s an act of listening, receiving, and allowing something within you to take form, to allow space for transmutation.
Rejecting that receptive, intuitive, nurturing force, often leads to disconnect. Technique can still exist, but without that balance, art risks becoming forcefully impressive rather than alive.
