Being creative sucks without chemistry

I've just been thinking about creativity lately. I used to be extremely creative, arguably successful even. And as I got older and fell out of it, everybody asks me why I stopped. And I realized the reason I stopped was because the thing that drew me to it is no longer there: the chemistry with my co-creators.

I had a successful band for a while. It was a two person band. One day, my band mate lost interest. Things were never the same and I stopped working on it shortly after.

I used to love to write short sketches. When I felt tight with my actor friends and knew them well, writing flowed effortlessly, and was extremely fun.

Thinking back to all the acting projects I loved, I was completely enthralled in the energy of the creators. I was playing off them, and they were essentially transforming me into someone decent. On my own, I'm not even good lol.

Idk if anybody else feels this way.
