Your Creativity Is Wild — You Keep Trying to Domesticate It
A Creative Report from the Realm of Chaos…
Let’s be completely honest here.
Your creativity didn’t just disappear.
It didn’t dry up.
It didn’t abandon you.
It didn’t hop the fence and run away.
You caged it in, nice and tight.
Somewhere along the way, you learned that creativity should be:
- neat
- explainable
- palatable
- easy to consume
- easy to categorize
So you trimmed it down to those categories.
Smoothed it right on out.
Quieted it.
All to make it “acceptable.”
And then you wondered why it stopped showing up, the creative world was silent.
Vex (leaning against a wall covered in half-finished sigils):
“Wild things don’t perform well in captivity.”
Exactly. They’re best witnessed in the damn wild.
When Did You Start Editing Yourself Before You Even Began?
At some point, creating stopped being play and started being a performance.
You started asking:
- Will people get this?
- Is this too much?
- Is this cringe?
- Is this marketable?
- Is this even fucking allowed?
And before the idea ever had a chance to breathe, you put a leash on it.
That’s not discipline.
That’s fear dressed up as wanna be professionalism.
Lawless (lighting a cigarette off a dumpster fire):
“If you’re trying to make everyone comfortable, you’re probably boring yourself.”
Ouch. But she’s extremely accurate with that comment.
Creativity Isn’t Meant to Be Tamed
Your creativity isn’t a house pet.
It’s a stray.
It shows up when it wants.
It bites when cornered.
It refuses commands.
And when you try to make it behave, it stops trusting you.
You don’t lose creativity by being chaotic.
You lose it by being too controlled.
Rage (arms crossed, already annoyed):
“I didn’t lose my edge. I buried it so people wouldn’t flinch.”
That’s the real grief right there.
You Didn’t Become “Too Much” — You Became Contained
No one ever tells you to stop creating outright.
They just suggest:
- softening your tone
- simplifying your ideas
- being more “relatable”
- making it easier to digest
Until one day, your work feels hollow, and lack luster, too easy, not the message you’re trying to translate.
Not because it’s bad, but because it’s missing you.
Rebel (tightening a bolt, not looking up):
“If it doesn’t sound like you, it won’t last.”
Truth.
Wild Creativity Needs Space, Not Permission
Your creativity doesn’t need:
- validation
- applause
- approval
- a clean timeline
It needs:
- room
- repetition
- honesty
- friction
Wild creativity thrives in mess, contradiction, and unfinished thoughts.
It grows when you let it be strange before it’s impressive.
Meany (chewing on a discarded sketch):
“The best parts are always the ones you tried to throw away.”
Every time.
Final Truth
If your creativity feels distant, ask yourself this:
What parts of me did I lock up to be easier to accept?
Your creativity didn’t leave you.
It’s just waiting for you to stop trying to train it.
Open the cage.
Let it bite again.
The Realm was never meant to be polite.
