hi friends! sharing some thoughts on creativity, expression, and staying SANE. 🌌
i’ve always been intrigued and involved in music - always listening to an array of genres and participating myself through band, choir, and piano over the years. when creating or in need of finding that creative space, we all have different ways to find and understand inspiration.
for me, music is my light source; the beacon that illuminates the direction to follow. the way it makes me feel, its capability to completely change my mood and cause my thoughts to wander.
as a kid, my imagination ran WILD. i often would ‘play pretend’ in the woods behind my house, whether alone or with friends, forming scenarios beyond our realistic world. it was FUN, and simply what we did! i have numerous unfinished old scripts and books floating around on old hard drives, each serving as a memory for a time and place where my thoughts needed to be expressed.
finding a medium to share and materialism your imagination and creativity continues to be important to me. us creatives may be slightly wired differently than others, but my efforts to retain and offer respect to my ideas provides personal organization and satisfaction.
choosing to stay safe and remain quarantined doesn’t provide a lot of inspiration initially when looking at the same walls everyday; it does pose a challenge, one to look beyond the common everyday sights you see and explore what is beyond, channeling your imaginative nature once again.
i only WISH i had the natural talent of a song writer and vocal musical artist. a gifted poet who can formulate words to tune, and the ability to share that with the word. i do have the ‘wannabe’ dream of becoming a broadway star, basking in the spotlight each night and singing my heart out. maybe in another life. 🤷🏻♂️
share with me how YOU express yourself creatively. 🌈
