How would you describe your ideal relationship with your significant other as it relates to your creative journey? Have you ever used your creativity to help heal a relationship wound? Can you describe this time in your life? Can you describe your parents' relationship and how it affected their individual creative journeys? How has this affected your relationships? Do you feel that you nurture the creative spirit in those you care about? Please share some example or stories? Are you more apt to express yourself artistically or creatively when passion is burning or dying? Describe any transformations of significant relationships (endings or beginnings) that have had a life changing effect on your creative path.
