What does it mean to be creative? What does it mean to be systematic? Can the two ever intersect?
This has been on my mind lately. Sometimes I find myself bereft in a sea of creative thoughts and ideas, but I also find myself in a mindset of only routine and structure. More perplexing than my seemingly polar mindsets is when I am both of the mind of the artist and the accountant. This mental twilight zone is both perplexing and frankly frustrating as it might seem.
It is difficult to put into words what plagues my thought processes in the misinformed duality of the very nature of my thought. It is like listening to two very different types of music (imagine folk and rap), both of which you enjoy, but definitely want to keep in separate, soundproof containers. I guess that's what it is like, but do not hold me to that simile. Evntually it comes down to one flavor of thought dominating over anther, resulting in either creative structure or structured creativity. It is weird.
I am going to take some pictures of straight lines.

Yeah, well it makes sense. I'm pretty damn liberal haha. But yeah, I don't live by the label either.
As for your post, I think I am both put in one. I mean, I'm double majoring in Music and Computer Science. Artistic and Systematic together. My mind likes both equally, though I think I like the artistic side more... I don't know. I can understand why it could be odd though.
