Thoughts On Creativity


Creativity is fire - Breathed from the nostrils of a horse-dragon, birthed at a camp fire, or barely living on the end of a cigarette. The essence of creativity is found in isolated moments that inspire, transform, or force you to believe, think, or act differently.

Conformity is such a dirty word, but functioning within society is a form of conformity.  Dramatic events and intense emotions often force an individual to deviate from conforming. Inspiration can come from a variety of sources, but I am most influenced and inspired by pain. I have always defined happiness as a neutral emotion. Perhaps, I am most creative when my mind is attacked by emotions of grief, sorrow, and ecstasy. I have attempted to find inspiration behind a simple smile, but it has never intrigued me.

Creativity is important because the core of it is reliant on the word create. To create is to do; it is the process of bringing something into existence. When you do nothing, you die.
