Amy Tan is Really Fun

In the video, Amy Tan talks about how we get creative. She talks about how it comes from everywhere in our lives such as from childhood traumas, things we grew up with that made a rather negative impact on our lives as we grew up. It may even come from our past lives, things that we experience subtly being passed on to our current lives. Another method of where creativity come from may be from psychosis or depression, or temporal lobe seizures, as crazier ideas sort of appear and they can be very different from a mentally healthy person. And from a healthy person's point of view, that sort of craziness or maybe darker tone would appear "creative" as they are not exposed to it as often.

Creativity may also come in the form of hints from the universe, such as random convenient coincidences happening when you need them to. In actuality, they are already in front of us but only when we narrow down our thoughts do we truly notice that they are there. 

Strange as it may be, the uncertainty is a good thing as it pushed us to think further ahead and come up with many answers and even more questions to ponder about.
