Let's get a few things clear...
Not everyone is naturally creative, but creativity can be learned.
You don't need epic landscapes to make photographic magic.
Comparing yourself to others will only end badly.
Everyone is at a different place in their journey.
Your creative journey is your own, but it doesn't have to be a lonely road.
