I have all the hallmarks of a creative person. The only problem is I'm not creative.

I'm being a little facetious. I think that's about 75% true. I try to use the remaining 25% of wiggle room.

If I were less logical and less shy, I would be more creative. But my creativity involves both logic and shyness. So there.

I like something that's subtle (shy) but that actually works (logical).

That doesn't mean I'm not also bold sometimes. That conclusion (that I'm not) would be overly simple. In fact, avoiding the overly simple is a lot of why I'm creative in the first place. After all, we could have gone with the first two sentences above and been done with it. But they weren't good enough. They weren't true enough.
