Like you either had it or you didn’t. Some people just knew  what they were good at, and I felt like I was still trying to figure that out. What changed for me was how I started approaching things. I stopped treating everything like something I needed to get through. Especially with school. Instead of rushing to finish assignments, I started asking myself how I could make them more interesting for me. And the truth is, you have more control than...]]></description><link>https://www.daisynika.com/post/how-i-started-finding-what-i-m-actually-creative-in</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c2bed08f0e652aaa2f1826</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:43:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/aabd69_68919f783b0249ed9363032b16a78078~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Daisy Nika</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why "later" is the most dangerous word]]></title><description><![CDATA[I don’t think “later” is about not believing in yourself.
