I hate how creativity treats me like shit, but I just keep coming back for more.

I'm sometimes afraid I'll just wake up one day and realize my creativity's left me, taken all my nascent ideas with it, and is never coming back. We didn't sign a prenup. 

I'm even more afraid of never realizing that and writing under the delusion that I've still got it. Panic ensues.

Buy yourself a notebook or take random notes in your phone. Any time you have a cool idea, write it down. Most of it when you look back will appear crap, but it helps spark ideas and designs. :)
