Hey—It’s Toffer.
What makes us human? Choosing all the tiny squares with traffic lights. Apparently.

Machines still stumble there (for now): fuzzy edges, context, judgment. But that’s only a clue. The real difference is this: we can create.
Not just produce. Create. To create is not a role. It is a relationship. A role can be put on and taken off. Creation requires something deeper. You pour in your values, your scars, your contradictions. The work holds them.
It is a dialogue. You shape the work, and the work shapes you. Every honest line becomes a mirror, reflecting not just what you’ve done but who you are.
That is why true work feels alive. The form can be copied. The essence cannot.
Maybe this is the echo of something larger. If we bear the image of a Creator, then creating is how we answer back.
You give the work your essence. In return, the work gives you permanence.
Your Friend in Time,
Toffer
