Have you ever had a creative crush?

What I mean is: have you ever gotten so hooked onto an idea that you couldn’t stop thinking about it?

Maybe it was an obsession with starting a hostel after months of solo travel and being inspired by other hostel owners (this was me last year). Or, the thought of spinning your dog’s hair into coats for other dogs, founding a walking-tour company in your hometown, or creating a stationary brand.

Yesterday, I caught up with a fellow creative and we got so giddy about our recent creative crushes: the ones we’ve lost so much sleep over.

We flailed our arms.

Cackled sheepishly.

Threw our heads back.

Squinted our eyes into the widest smiles.

And, stomped our feet like little toddlers.

We were so energized.

Because, that’s what happens when you have a crush!

It courses the most electric energy through your veins, and you just want to romanticize about it (and stalk it) every single minute of every day.
