Sometimes I think I'm really blessed because there are a lot of things I can do. Not that i said do, not things I am talented in. I don't really think anyone doing a certain act can decided whether they are talented are not. Talent is decided by artist really, other people do. But there are a lot of things I can do, a lot of things that are creative. There is the given that I like to write, and then my recent ventures in drawings. But then there are others things, things to me that are creative but may not appear so because they don't fall into the standard ideas of "artistic". Things like making my Youtube videos or writing here in my blog. But I agree that they are not necessarily artistic, but creative, yes? I really believe they are. Because I'd really like to think that I am a creative person. Even if my ideas have been used before, even if I copy pictures I like, I really want to believe that I am creative. I think I approach everything with a creative aspect in mind, like how can I make this different? How can I make this mine? Because I really want things to be mine. I am selfish.
I have a strong belief that everyone should have some type of creative outlet, or at least something they can put themselves into (because there's the whole aspect of sports that people use, I am not a sport person but I do understand why people do it). But really, it's something really essential that everyone just has something. Because i really think the things, the hobbies we have, creative, or not, can help us with things. Hard things and easier things, it just makes life seem a lot more easier. The only problem is that I think people tend to forget just how much those things help them in times of sadness. I know that I do. And I know that a lot of times I think that by working on my creative outlets I am hiding out. Which I am in a way, but it's also good. Because I mean, creative...it kind of means creating. And it's always good that I can actually, you know, create something out of my sadness. Or happiness. It's always good to have something created from happiness or sadness. The thing about being emotional is that emotions are often a huge power source behind being creative as well. And I like that. I like that not only do I do this amazing thing, I create something, but also that has my emotions put into it. Isn't it lovely to look at a piece of art, read something, or hear a song and just know that there is emotion there? There is a another human being who is real and true and has feelings too, someone who perhaps has the same feelings as you. I don't know, there is something so precious to every piece of anything that anyone has ever created. I think we don't really have our souls, because we give them all away to things that we do. Things that could be sporty or creative, or things that are even other people. And I don't have a problem with that, because that's being a human being, that's really connecting with anyone and anything. So giving your soul away is good, because you should put your soul into everything that you do, particularly your passions. I know I'm not really making sense right now. Endless train of thoughts.
I do know that's going to be my personal goal to focus on my creative outlets more. I rally need them, they really do help me. It's just hard sometimes, when I'm so sad I can't even feel anything. But I know they make me feel better and I'm going to try to keep that knowledge. I have things that help me, I have things that I can do. And I really hope everyone else does too.
