You used to feel it: a quickening. That electric edge, pulling you to race past what you knew how to do. It was scary and unsettling, but you dared to keep going. Why? Because it was when you felt most alive and inspired.

Then, slowly—or maybe all at once—you stopped.
Deadlines crept in. Or doubt. More likely, a subtle shift toward what gets applause instead of what feels true. You got good at staying in your lane.
Which is exactly how genius gets stuck.

Here’s what I’ve seen: blocked passion doesn’t always look like failure. Often, it looks like success. Predictable. Efficient. Monetized.
It can look like a big house on the coastline, or a closet full of designer clothes.
