The Inspiration Loop

About a year and a half ago, a friend, A, started regularly attending the Olive Tree Writing Club. Eventually, inspired by OTWC, he started his own community for designers called Aci-d.

I remember him sharing the idea in the early days, and I shared a few pointers as he got it off the ground.

Last night, I saw on Instagram that they just held their end-of-season celebration after a full year of events. Lots of people showed up. There were demos, a yearbook, and a great vibe all around. It looked like a blast and honestly, it was inspiring to see.

The beauty of living in NYC is that I made so many creative friends here. I heard about their ideas early on and I’ve seen them make their idea into a reality.

It reminded me of how creativity works as a feedback loop. Maybe I helped spark something at the start, and now seeing what they’ve built inspires me right back. I hope I can do the same for those who’ve inspired me along the way.
