My Vision

I'm not a very creative person. I'm structured and am fond of plans and preparations. I am rigid but not because I'm afraid of new things. My life used to be a soap opera. You can make a Lifetime movie based on it. Unexpected things beyond my control dictated my life. It was comforting to exert some control over my own life and have something I looked forward to. With my natural rigidity and over compensation toward life, I have dramatically suppressed my creativity, something that I never had much of, and I was unwilling to invest countless hours trying to obtain it. Now that my life has calmed a bit, this is something I want to pursue: creativity. I've accepted the reality that in order to have some creativity in my life, I have to borrow. Truly creative people often despise my method and may label it creative thievery (my theory based on other blogs). I don't want to offend anyone, but I truly believe that everyone should engage in creative activity even at the expense of enjoying someone else's discoveries. I'll always attribute my source, though. I just disagree with the concept that art and creativity should be exclusively confined to the artistically talented. Again, though, I won't take someone else's credit.
