I'm not good at this.
It's like, well, that's only as true as you want to believe.
So I think, yeah, improvisation
It's like once you experience the flow state, you can start experiencing the flow state in all things, even when you're watching people in their flow states.
Like when I love seeing contemporary dance, you know, and you see these dancers that have trained all of their lives and they're performing this piece choreographed by this choreographer who has a vision, you know, and like the dancers are expressing that vision.
And the movement that they're experiencing, you feel like the movement, you know, it's like what white people like sports, you know, like they embody the movement of what they're watching.
And that gives them the sense of action and drama and liberation, you know, or disappointment sometimes, but whatever.
But you kind of become it.
And so that's kind of the flow state.
It's like, that's how I like to look at it.
So when I'm observing something like that, I can use that movement.
It doesn't mean I have to be good at the thing necessarily, but I can understand what it would feel like.
Yeah.
I mean, I, it's one thing that's like, I'm not a big fan of people compartmentalizing saying like, I'm not an artist or, you know, or it's like, I'm a creative, you know, or whatever, you know, it's like capitalist terms or whatever, but like, um, everybody's an artist, you know, it's like, we're all creative.
That's all we're doing is creating, you know, even like we're creating our relationship to reality every nanosecond that we're alive, you know, it's like, so we're always creating.
And I think, um,
when you decide that you are creating, I guess.
You're like, now I'm creating, you know, whatever.
It's like, oh, now I'm on the clock.
I'm creating now.
