Intangible joy

Pernilla:
A friend wants to do music. He says:

"There's something nice about things that disappear as soon as they're made."

Made me think of me and my creativity, which is all about creating stuff. Stuff stuff stuff.
And I wonder how much we are encouraged to make physical stuff, versus making intangible things like music, throughout our childhood. I can't even imagine the number of artifacts I created, but songs? Plays? New games? None.

How much is this affecting me? And what about our idea of buying and owning stuff for our satisfaction instead of, lets say playing together? Could you make teenage girls spend the Saturday jamming in the park instead of going to the mall?
