3. Do you think there is a creative element to eating?

Yes I do. It's based on my view on what creativity is, and what just consuming something is.
If I stuff myself with something while I read, watch tv etc., it certainly isn't creative. On the other hand, if I appreciate the preparation, freshness, and taste, see and feel the textures, smell the aroma... of course it is. Is drinking wine creative? Just like that. I think every mindful activity is creative. For me, creativity doesn't only mean making something for others to see. I create experiences for myself, whether that's enjoying bird song, a concert, getting lost in a book or eating a good meal.

Auf unserer Straße blüht es.

Enough... I know. But a phone is so convenient for quick snaps as he went out for business. The sun was right there as natural lighting in the second photo. A few darker pink ones blossomed among lighter ones. Don't be afraid to stand out 👍
One more day.

What does imposter syndrome mean to you and do you think you have it?

Imposter Syndrome: An uneasy sense that who you present yourself as lies at odds with who you think you are.

It's most prevalent when you feel that your inner reality isn't up to your outer projection. That you are unworthy of some higher status.

"I'm not really that good. I'm just pretending that I know what I'm doing."

I thought I had it in the beginning before I realized that self-doubt is critical to improvement. Without that sense of "I could do better," I have no incentive to grow.

I realized that every other person engaged in their art or craft must feel the same way to some degree unless they lacked any kind of self awareness. Any sense of growth or improvement.

My self-doubt doesn't make me an imposter. It makes me a member of the clan I wish to claim membership in.
