I sometimes feel like I don’t know how to deliberately come up with ideas at all, but I’m not sure if I’m actually like that (it’s probably just insecurity or something, lol).

Do people like that actually exist, though? If so, why are they like that? And how do they learn to deliberately think of ideas?

    I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. I’ve been trying to learn to write lyrics for the last year or so, and the one thing I know for sure about creativity is that it’s not a switch.

    Ideas come to me walking down the street and I have to jot them down for later. If I want to come up with something new on the spot, I just start singing without thinking about it and usually something good eventually falls out of my mouth.
