“Creativity, for a lot of young people, is a coping mechanism. It’s the only place they feel comfortable. It’s the only time they feel like they’re being heard or can make a difference, is if they can go into a room and do a drawing or go to the garage and play a song or retreat to this world.” – Paul Dini
Creativity is comes in all sorts of forms. I totally understand this quote… I use creativity to cope at times. I do feel that I can process through something that has been a bother or repeatedly on my mind.
For me, creativity is a time to hear myself, my inner voice. I silence the outside world and ponder while creating.
I enjoy the creative process just as much as the end results. It gives me permission to step outside of my many roles and just be me.
Even if you think you are not creative, I can tell you – you are.
What in your life gets your focus going, a little extra spark of interest? What makes you want to learn more? The process of exploration in itself is creative. You can be creative in problem solving, numbers, relationships, spirituality, and mechanics just as much as with art media.
