Creativity Gift

How I discovered what it means to truly create

I’ve always been curious about what creativity really is.

For me, it’s always been about pouring yourself — your feelings, your experience, your soul into something. A piece of writing. A video. A painting. Poetry. Even a business model.

Today, I want to share my 3 favourite ways to create (I’m leaving singing out for now — still too raw, hehe). Let’s go.

1. Poetry & Rhymes

I’ve always loved writing poems and rhyming verses. Rarely shared them though, especially in English.

But when I create something? My soul sings. I play it over and over in my head. Sometimes out loud. The rhymes follow me everywhere.

I think I’m lucky because I get to feel like it’s a holiday every single day.

Here’s a short piece. Maybe you’ll feel it too?

Words I speak always carry weight.
Like nails, they are sharp and straight.
Some words build me higher.
While others break bones and inspire.

I have dozens of longer pieces. Want to read them?

2. Storytelling

In a recent article, I mentioned reconnecting with a childhood friend. We were catching up on life, and it reminded me of one funny story:

I’d just bought a washing machine and decided to fix everything in the bathroom. There was a faucet that worked, but the water pressure would sometimes drop. My friend gave me a plumber’s number.

This serious-looking guy arrives. He starts explaining plumbing to me. For 30 minutes. About washers, pipes, everything. You could see he loved his work.

Me? I zoned out after 5 minutes. I couldn’t even imagine knowing that much about washing machines.

So he checks the faucet my grandfather had fixed years ago. He’s turning it, getting frustrated, and then: “Who messed this up like this?”

I’m thinking, “Should I even pay him after that comment?”

And then... something happens neither of us expected.

AAAAAHHHHH. AAAAHHHH. The walls started to shake.

We look at each other in complete shock. AAAAH-AHHHH. And I think: “Good job, guys :) They really love each other.” Turns out my neighbours had their own celebration going on too.

Eventually, the plumber fixed everything and left. But we continued to hear the sounds of love through the wall.

3. Value I create

For me, value is sharing what I actually do — not theory, not guesses.

I show how growth happens in media. What marketing problems appear. How to solve them. How to talk to clients. How to build systems.

Real stuff I’ve done myself.

For years, I loved those “how-to guides.” But most of the people writing them? They’d never actually done what they were teaching.

That frustrated me. So in my work, I almost always share from personal experience.

Lately, I’ve been writing a lot about personal growth. About the changes in my life. About my breakthrough.

And you know what? I realised I’ve been avoiding video content with my face.

It’s not the camera I fear. It’s being visible. Being successful.

Well. I’m working on that now.

So here’s me. First time facing the camera like this — not perfect, just real.

If you’ve been hiding something too — maybe it’s time we both stopped.

I’m constantly pushing myself out of my comfort zone. And honestly? I’m curious where my limits are. If I even have any.

Thanks for spending time in my creative corner. If you want to support this — share it, comment and let’s build something incredible together.

With much love,
