Creative Spark
Creativity is a part of being human and what essentially makes us so much more beautiful. To express one's ideas and thoughts fully through any medium available to man. It adds a depth in our life and lets us connect with others in deeper, more meaningful ways.
As an artist and a poet, I know firsthand how powerful having a creative outlet can be for a person to be fully human, fully oneself. When I am immersed in my craft, doing the thing I love, it makes me feel truly alive. It feels my cup when the world tries to empty it through the constant expectation to be productive and produce results that are acceptable by the society. In a sense it feels rebellious, It energizes me.
But in the same sense, not everyone has the means to nurture and express their creativity into the world. Either through family, society or one's own perception of what is acceptable of oneself, the creativity often gets suppressed. Or for others, because of mental or chronic illnesses, it is not accessible for them to be able to be creative.
Can you think of a time when creativity made a big difference in your life or helped you through a challenge?
Or
What do you do to keep the creative spark alive even when life gets in the way?
@Adrestia I don't know if this counts as I write fiction and blog but I challenged myself to write a short story in a day and that was unheard of for me.
I'm usually itching to write, sometimes there are other pressing priorities or I'm overwhelmed but knowing that people are waiting to read what I've wrote and that I usually feel better after getting things off my chest, keeps me motivated.
I'm more comfortable to keep going now or even take a break after I re-established myself and started limiting it to a more manageable schedule, instead of burning myself out and resenting it.
Less a chore, more a joy
@ScrabbleBrain That is great, fellow creative ✨💕
@Adrestia Absolutely, although to be honest it took a really long time to open up and find my voice. I'm glad I did :) Persistence paid off
