Replying to nobody

maybe they dont need a lot to get by?

maybe the topic is intimidating

maybe it brings up childhood wounds like food scarcity or a bad christmas or a toy taken away

long story short: many reasons

a lot of people have issues around money it is a very personal often weaponized thing

dont believe they deserve abundance?

like a struggle?

feel they make better art when hungry?

the list is pretty endless

on twitter years ago i know a guy who talked about creativity & inspiration & how parameters can help create just enough of a container or a limit to help the process

like: this is a creative writing class:

you have 20 minutes to write about anything make it good

you have 20 minutes to write a short story about the first winter you remember

most people find the latter task more inspiring & they are able to more immediately get to work writing something instead of being stuck & overwhelmed by how vast ~anything~ is

in the same way:

having enough money to travel ~anywhere~

i dont travel except for work & to visit family i already have

as in:

money becomes less weaponized & less escalated & less likely to fuck up a recipe if you are someone who can create your own parameters & stick to them cos you believe in them cos you made them for the right reasons

most people dont trust themselves with that

most people are terrified of changing/turning into someone or something they dont recognize until they are beyond utterly lost to themselves

nothing will show you just what you are capable of like suddenly having a blank check
