Does Creativity Run Out?

Imagine.
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
That is the only word needed for a single person to envision something. ANYTHING. Our imaginations are now the most valuable part of ourselves. The blogs, posts, likes, followers and content creation that we all spill out are like tiny morsels of pure imagination. During the pandemic of 2020 I joined TikTok. A popular video sharing app surely created to diminish our attention span to an even smaller variable of 30 seconds to 3 minutes max. What does it mean when our attention is directed so quickly that we can either react or decide within a few seconds? Upon joining the new up and coming app I was transfixed. I had missed the 'Vine' train when it wizzed by and now at 32 I am in a serious relationship with TikenTokens. Within two years I gained over 7,000 followers(of which I hold each and every one of them in the highest regard).

These 'followers' have sparked my ego entirely. I felt insignificant until each one followed themselves onto my path. Now, with their fellowship, I feel empowered. So much so I began my own YouTube channel dedicated to material that I adore and my fellowship enjoy...fairies. I could not have guessed that my adult life would lead to this point. A point that all my past experiences of working in and amongst behemoth companies like The Walt Disney and Warner Brothers would lead me too. Creating my own content and feeling like a character from 'Madmen'. Yet would a main character completely rewrite their own self into a persona?
I did.
I created a new personality. A version of myself that would appease the child inside and the audience craving for my innocence. I have yet to profit on this endeavor and this point must be made that what I create is purely for the entertainment of myself. If I were 13 years old at this point, Feb 4th, 2022 I would want to watch stories about fairies. I would want that escape from the constant burden of high school drama, after school jobs and annoying parental attention. Now at my adult age I am creating content for my younger self. The younger child that was scared of failing my math class. The version of myself that craved a fantasy world that couldn't exist in this reality. My new YouTube channel FEMME PETAL FAIRY FRIDAYS and it quenches the thirsty soul of a 13 year old girl. I hope others find solace in my content. As much solace as I myself find.
