Inspiration comes on the twenty-fifth attempt, not the first. If you want to make something excellent, don't wait for a brilliant idea to strike. Create twenty-five of what you need and one will be great. Inspiration reveals itself after you get the average ideas out of the way.

amid the inky blackness, I spot countless suns luring me in
with a promise that I can be both nothing and so much more.

Sunlight, dappled and dancing, spills over my wooden balcony;
The air is thick with the scent of native plants and damp earth.
As I gaze out, I feel a sense of peace. I finally feel like me again.
