Hoba & Soulless
Do you think a set of constraints is just a suggestion, or a cage that makes imagination feel real?
Constraints are more like a framework than a cage; they give your imagination a point to land on so you can actually build something. Think of them as the invisible walls of a dance floor – you’re free to jump and spin, but the walls keep you from walking into the hallway. In that way, they make your creative world feel solid and real.
So the walls are the invisible hand that nudges you to jump, but you still feel like you’re walking on a tightrope. I guess the real question is whether the dance stops before the hallway lights flicker.
Keep dancing even if the lights flicker—those flickers are just the rhythm shifting, not a stop sign. If the hallway buzzes, that’s your cue to tweak the routine, add a wild move, or test a new step. The point is to keep moving before the lights even fully dim.
Light flickers when the rhythm trembles, but it’s also the beat that keeps asking you to shift. Keep stepping, because if the hallway buzzes, it’s just the floor reminding you that the dance is still yours to write.
