I used be called creative.  It’s when I started realizing it myself that I failed to meet the expectations of myself to be truly creative.  I began to look at what was marketable, or “in” and failed to recognize that creativity springs from within rather than from outside influences.  I began to see everything I did as with some kind of outside perspective.  I became self-conscious.  In doing so, I became bland and uncreative.

Getting back to the root of your own creativity is hard.  Culture says “Here do this… this will be profitable for you”  Read a book on painting rather than paint.  Knowledge rather than Experience has become the problem with creativity.

You have to learn to be you with all your flaws and inhibitions.  The only people who should have a problem with it are those who are so inhibited themselves that they care more about what others think than who they are.

My passions in life are my family, my relationship with God, creativity and expressionism. This blog, decloned, reflects those passions. My belief is that all true creativity comes from the Creator first and foremost.
