Very well done. Reading through this, all I could think of was one of the pianist playing on the recording of Bob Dylan's epic song, Murder Most Foul.
Fiona Apple told Dylan she felt insecure playing on the track. Dylan responded by saying words to the effect; you're not here to be perfect, you're here to be you.
Love that anecdote. It's interesting how we all bring something so unique to each setting but rather than show up as we are, we assume we should show up as something else—which would change the chemistry, or alchemy, or whatever it is, entirely
Such a well-written and pertinent piece! Out-chessing our own ego is a tricky task, but the more we just do things, the more likely we are to emerge into our natural flow and curiosity which makes the ego an irrelevant distraction.
"But there are also moments—usually when I'm most absorbed in the work itself—when I catch a glimpse of what it might feel like to create without the burden of self-justification. Those moments feel like coming home to myself."
Yes! I love that feeling.
Don't get it right, get it written, is the quote which gets me to move without overthinking.
