Creativity Hello everyone , the words inside the parentheses are new for me so I tried to use them in a real context , hope you can tell me wether the use is correct . Thank you We tend to be relaxed because (hitherto) everything around us is already created. I have some (hazy) memories of my childhood being creative watching the world different , but I don’t know what or when (smothered) that flame , I am not saying it is completely extinguished but there is something trying to (stifle) it to the bottom .
