Creating in a Crowded World
The whole point of creativity
In a world inundated with so much resources — books, art, blogs, podcasts, videos — it’s easy to wonder:
Does it even make sense to add one more thing to the pile?
Does the world really need yet another post, another thought, another perspective?
It can sometimes feel like screaming into the void, hoping someone, somewhere, hears you.
But here’s the thing I have come to realize lately — no one else sees the world exactly the way I do. No one else has my voice, my experiences, my unique way of connecting dots. The internet might be overflowing, but there will never be another me — and that alone makes it worth creating.
People still crave realness. They want to feel something, to find voices that resonate with them or make them think differently. And if my words reach even one person — if they make someone feel seen or shift their perspective — then it’s already worth it. But more than that, creating is worth it for me.
When I choose to write, to speak, to share, I’m choosing myself.
I’m telling my brain that my voice matters, that the way I see things has power, and it deserves to exist outside of my head.
Every time I put something out there, I take a little power back. I stop worrying about how some imaginary audience might react and start asking myself:
How do I feel about this? Does this matter to me?
There’s something freeing about that. When I stop obsessing over likes, shares, or whether anyone even notices, the act of creating becomes lighter. It’s no longer about performing or proving myself — it’s about expression.
It’s about taking thoughts that live rent-free in my head and giving them space to breathe. About allowing myself to exist fully, out loud, without waiting for permission or validation.
The truth is, fear is always going to be there — fear of judgment, indifference, or getting it “wrong.” But I’ve realized that fear only has power if I let it. The second I choose to create anyway, I take back control. I refuse to let that imaginary, unknown audience dictate what I do or don’t say.
I’ve come to the realization that it’s not about whether someone reads my content or listens to my podcast. It’s about me. I can’t control how people react, but by choosing to create, I’m choosing me. I’m telling my brain that my voice matters and that my perspective has power. By doing so, I take the power away from the fear of how others will receive it, and I give that power back to myself. At the end of the day, it’s about how I feel about it.
And you know what? That’s enough.
The whole point of creating
The whole point of creating goes beyond producing something for others — it’s about expression, exploration, and self-affirmation. It’s a way of making sense of the world and your place in it. Through creativity, you take the intangible — thoughts, feelings, and ideas — and give them form.
It’s also about freedom. Creativity lets you step outside the limits of routine and expectation, giving you permission to imagine, question, and dream. Whether anyone else notices or not, the simple act of creating reinforces that your voice and perspective are valid.
At its core, creativity is a declaration: I exist, I see the world in my own way, and that matters. It’s not just about what you make — it’s about who you become in the process of making it.
There’s a part of us that’s designed to create. When we choose to create, we engage that intrinsic part of ourselves, the spark of divinity within. It’s a deep, natural drive that connects us to something larger than ourselves. As it says in Genesis 1:26–27, “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
Creativity is not just a task or hobby — it’s a divine calling, a sacred act that reflects the essence of the one who created us.
When we create, we honor the legacy of our origins — how we were designed in the image of a Creator who breathed life into the universe. The book of Genesis shows us that God’s creativity is foundational to the world itself: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1). This divine act of creation wasn’t just the beginning of the world; it’s a pattern we were designed to mirror. We are called to create because God, our Creator, created us with that very nature. When we choose to create, we reflect His nature, acknowledging that we were made in His image.
This creative power is embedded within us as a fundamental part of our human experience. In Ephesians 2:10, it says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” We were designed by God with intention and purpose, and part of that purpose is to engage with the act of creation. Every time we create, we align ourselves with the divine design, tapping into the very essence of our being.
By creating, we not only express ourselves but also acknowledge the connection between our individual creativity and the universal act of creation. It becomes a way to honor and affirm the presence of something greater than ourselves, an eternal force embedded in the act of creation itself.
We are all creators in our own right, with a unique voice and purpose, shaped by the image of the divine. Our creativity is not just a personal act; it is an act of worship and service to humanity.
We create because we were made to create . In this, we fulfill a part of the purpose we were always meant to fulfill: to reflect and respond to the world around us through our unique perspective, shaped by God’s grace.
