Indeed! And it's probably a combination of genetics and family culture. I can trace creativity down my family tree, but I don't think I would be the creative I am today if I had been raised by a completely prosaic adoptive family.

Hmm. Something to think about. We probably want to think we would've got here anyway, that it is somehow determined. I'm not sure either way.

As usual, the answer probably lies in that elusive balance...

Such an interesting family story, though, thank you so much for sharing!
