Advice from Red Hong-Yi
“ Looking back now , and after talking to so many creatives , that feeling of fear is central to creativity because our work is personal . When you create something , a piece of art , or an essay , when you put it out there , you are essentially telling people that , “ Here , I made this . What do you think ?” That power is given to them . They will look at it , and they will choose to respond and react in their own way . But that is the only way to truly share our work with the world . And it will make all the difference . At the time , I was gripped with fear and kept asking myself , “ What do I do now ? Do I delete my account , or do I continue ?” Fear is powerful because if you have fear , you will stop being creative . Fear keeps businesses from ever happening . Fear keeps the books and blogs remain unwritten . Fear silences ideas . And the worst thing about fear is that it makes us want to be comfortable , safe and not challenge the status quo . At that point in time , I thought , “ Okay , this year I will not give in to fear and will go ahead despite them .” So I continued making art .”
