What is Creativity?
Creativity is a hard thing to describe. It is seen as a trait or just something some people need to learn to have. Not everyone is born with a passion to paint like Picasso or sing like Madonna. It is a difficult thing to discuss unless you have the fire in your heart. Deep down, everyone has at least some creativity in them. For some it is waiting to be awakened, and others have had it alive since they were young. Creativity is seen as original and unique, which can be true. We are all creative in our own way. Sport players are creative on the field with their ideas set to win. Writers are creative with their stories and poems. Painters are creative just by splatting different colors onto a canvas and see what unfolds. It’s okay to follow the crowd, but some people want a new piece from the world. If you follow the crowd your whole life, you won’t find anything creative within yourself. Nowadays everything is being copied just to get popular or in the news. Just because everyone is writing about vampires doesn’t mean your story about an ill teen is bad. Keep doing you with your work, and get creative with everything. Organize differently, write differently, even draw something different. Don’t stay in the tiny box society locks you in, break out of that and create. If you can’t think of something, there is always room for some inspiration. Music has followed a crowd too nowadays, all the heavy bands going softer because it’s more “themselves” when really they just want to get on the radio more. Creativity is always praised yet the moment an artist changes their work, they are shunned upon because it’s not the “old them.” Don’t ever listen to those people on the internet saying your old work is better. Nothing is wrong with changing your look. If you want to experiment with a sci-fi novel even though you’ve always written about quirky teens falling in love, go for it! You might just fall in love with that genre. If your music has always been heavy and you wanna go softer, go ahead! That is A-okay! That’s your creativity coming alive within you. It helps you grow with your work. Creativity is always changing within us. We always find new ways to release it into the world as humans. It is a wonderful thing to do, creating art for the messed up universe we live in. This whole time we asked what is creativity, and to be honest with you, there really isn’t an answer. It could be a trait or a gift, maybe even a privilege. Some kids don’t bother in schools because they don’t have any creativity within them. Well, that’s what they think. There is nothing wrong with that. Creativity will take time to come to you and your work. Be patient, and it will grow and you will create something beautiful for the world. I promise.
