Creativity Killed the Cat

I am becoming more and more convinced that creativity is God's favorite thing about us.  There are several reasons I think this:

1. He is creative, and I'm pretty sure its His favorite pastime.
2. We are created and His favorite of all He created, born out of His relishing in His favorite pastime.
3. All of our creative energy is wasted on trying to not be creative.

In my understanding, if there is a behavior which seems natural to humanity, it is usually the opposite to which we were designed to be inclined.  We spend most of our time either trying to be something we're not or trying to be nothing at all.  We don't spend a whole lot of time just being.

And we would discover if we did that what we are is creative above all else, living suffocated and stifled if we are anything but.

What is it exactly that we are so afraid of?  What is so terrifying about being yourself?  Why do we rob the world of our thoughts, ideas, inventions, passions, dreams?

There is too much inside of me to let it sit there any longer.  I don't care how terrifying it is.  I'm reaching inside, and whatever I find is what You're getting.
