Creativity isn’t genetic, it’s not too late.
That being said, those born into creative families do get a massive head start to exposure; to arts, music, culture and food.
It is our own duty to prioritise noticing and exposing ourselves to the arts. More importantly it is paramount to bestow the gift of creativity and sense to our children, by taking them to museums, concerts and out of our comfort zones.
The ability to create, more so than consume, is a sublime purpose.

You are not born creative and you are certainly not born with any sort of taste. Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is capping you. There are plenty of studies that back this up. Divergent thinking and originality, the things that we actually mean when we call someone creative, has only about a 10 to 20% genetic link to creativity. The rest is up to nurture. It is up to how much art, culture, music, good, and people that you choose to let in. And whether or not you're paying attention when you actually do. There is no life rank. Creativity is just experiencing life and choosing to actually notice it. And if you don't believe me, go outside right now, take your phone and take a picture of everything you see that is green. You do not need a degree in photography to create an artwork. Just spend an hour taking pictures of everything you see that is green. When you come bad, mash all of those things together and I promise you, you will have a beautiful project that has come from just noticing things around you.
