Where does atlasia come from?

atlasia comes from this urge and desire to express the creativity that was held captive inside of me. But before that, it started with a way to disguise my identity perhaps because my childish self didn’t know how to face my real self. It was also a way to create mystique, keep them guessing, Who is she? What is she? Where does she come from? Maybe simply put, it was super cool to have another way to call myself by a pen name.

All those reasons hold true. But the one that resonates strongly is that I likened the drive for creativity as a weight that I carried on my shoulders to Atlas carrying the weight of the world on his. The weight of the ideas made me feel as if I was metaphorically carrying the weight of the world upon my shoulders.

However, atlasia carries her weight brazenly, proud of her ability to create and share, to touch someone’s imagination and to perfume your day beautiful.

What pushes you to create? How do you express your creativity? Do you create consistently or do you have bursts of creativity? Tell me about it. I look forward to hearing about your creative process.
