Do you ever feel like you aren't creative enough? Like creativity just ins't part of you? Well give it time, it will come to you. Everyone is creative in their own way. Charles Bukowski states in his poem "So you want to be a writer", "when it is truly time, and if you have been chosen, it will do it by itself and it will keep on doing it until you die or it dies in you." I think this quote has to deal with creativity because I believe creativity just comes to you. Creativity is not something you are born with, it's something that comes to mind. Creativity takes time to develop but once your mind truly takes in creativity it never goes away. Having a wild imagination can help with creativity. If you imagine things well that probably means you can turn it into something creative. It takes passion and commitment to be creative. When you are passionate it makes it easier to thank and act on things. Commitment ties into creativity because you have to be committed to keep going with the moment, you cant just give up you have to think about it and be passionate that it's going to work. Anyone can be creative, it just takes time and motivation to do it. Also creativity is thinking outside the box. Thinking outside the box expands everything, not just the boring two subjects you always do or talk about. Creativity takes intelligence. Being intelligent also helps with creativity because when you're intelligent you know a lot of different things, therefore, it can make your piece creative. Having great ideas and thoughts isn't enough to be considered "creative", it also takes the imagination to follow behind it. Fantasies are an example of what is not creative. Creativity takes several different ideas and thoughts, fantasies on the other hand all end and happen the same way. Therefore, I believe fantasies do not tie into being creative. To be creative you have to be independent. Yes, peers can give you advice and it still be considered creative, but when you work with someone or even copy someone that's not considered being creative to me -- it's not your work! Being independent can help you in everyday life, it's not hard to be by yourself, I actually think it is way easier. So what is creativity? It's being able to to be independent, be intelligent, think outside the box, having a wild imagination, and having great thoughts and ideas. Take a stand and be creative, it could be good for you.
