Ok, now you're just devolving into nonsense.
I'm trying to help empower people into thinking that they can also achieve things that they think only happen to other people so that they can be more creative and satisfied in their life. I am pointing my own experience as common and the wrong thing to do.
I literally went to therapy and took anti depressants to deal with this issue. I was getting burnt out by work and additional responsabilities, and turning to just easy pleasures like playing proc-gen rougelikes and felt like I was wasting my life. My therapist introduced me to the idea of the eudaimonic/hedonistic balance, and it's important to keep a balance between these so that you aren't burning yourself out, and also not looking back at the month that went by as a complete fucking waste.
Because when you look at other people that appear to be "creatives" you need to see yourself as being capable enough to be like them, and not feel defeatism in "oh no, I can't ever do that, because I don't have what they have".

This is literally a battle I'm having in my spare time at the moment for my own sanity and life satisfaction, and want to share those ideas with other people. Get out of the meme space and think for yourself man.
