One of the reasons I sometimes don't pursue writing or any creative field as much as I want to and as much as people say I should is because I'm afraid of running out of ideas.
Creativity is not encouraged much in our educational system. And originality is not nurtured.
We love to copy the ones we idolize.
But in order to be the idol or the creator of something amazing.... This is a skill that has to be mastered.
I like to think I'm very creative. And I try to be as authentic as I can be.
The way I keep my creative juices flowing and bubbling away is honestly, peculiar.
We all have strange patterns to get things done. And one of the ways I achieve creativity is by learning.
I know that sounds dull and boring.
But don't you ever realise why we get such good ideas while studying? And feel so inspired to do everything else while studying?
I take advantage of this for my gain.
Just another good reason to study well.
I remember once when my friend needed help with writing a speech and I was on a study break. I was so tired of the studying that I gave her such amazing ideas that she was amazed at me. That was the day I realized, studying can be used for my creative powers as well.
Another way I use to pump up my creative muscle is by writing a diary. I write about my day, how I feel, something cool I discovered, etc. There are days where I just write and write everything that comes in my mind about a particular topic that came up during my day. This is fun and I enjoy reading them later.
Also, it's a great way for people in the future to read about your life... Besides of course, having a blog.
Creativity is awesome. You find multiple solutions easily and think differently from most people.
Many of us creative people may end up in creative jobs.
But for me, I'll be happy with either.... Or even both, cause, one side always ends up supplementing the other.
