You can't use up your creativity.

You can't use up your creativity. The more you use, the more you have. This is something Maya Angelou said and it's the reframe you need to hear if you've been waiting for the right moment to start. So many of us save our creative ideas for the perfect project or the version of ourselves in the future that's ready. We hesitate on actually creating them as if creativity is fragile or something that will dry up. But if you look at almost any creative person, you'll notice something very interesting. They're often dissatisfied with the work they made in the past, not because they failed, but because they've grown. In The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron talks about creativity as a practice, something that expands the more consistently you show up. Creation builds momentum. Each time you create, it teaches you something and it moves you forward. The goal isn't perfection, it's participation. Trust that your best work isn't behind you, it's ahead of you.
