Suzy Dotson Growth - Entry 46 There is nothing more satisfying or rewarding than seeing progress within yourself. Whether that be progress in the gym, progress on an assignment, or growing intellectually. I love the NYT Games app. If you know me, you know I never stop talking about it. It has become an integral part of my daily routine. One of my favorite games is Connections, but I have always been bad at it. Having to look up hints, watching TikToks of those who have already gotten it, and continuing to be frustrated with myself for not having enough creativity to figure it out.

I feel like the most creative person in the world. Connections Puzzle #301 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

It feels like TikTok has just become a game of who can copy an idea the best instead of forming and executing original ideas. Have trends made us less creative? If we are only copying other people, is there space to form new ideas? What happened to creators promoting original content? Now it's just all about "nostalgia" A.K.A. taking the original ideas of the 90s and 2000s. On the opposite scope, maybe trends DO make us more creative. If we take a base idea, for example, a new trendy outfit idea, and constantly add new things, we are creating an entire new idea. Trying to adjust, take away, and add new ideas to a base idea is connecting. Connecting one idea to one idea. Connecting is creativity. Maybe trends are making us less creative, maybe they are making us very creatively. Either way, ...
