Hi, it's been a while again. I know, this blog is filled with mundane life experiences that has been repetitively discussed over and over. To be honest, my blog is inspired by the famous Vlogger as in Video blogger on Youtube, Natalie Tran. If you guys watch her videos you guys might get the deal. Yeah, you might think it's plagiarism but hey, I'm just sharing rants and topics that are funny and random to me so please don't rate me as if I'm the one lacking creativity.
Speaking of creativity, sometimes I just have to say that humans are actually born to be creative. I'm serious. If they are not creative, why would they have wild imaginations? Children always ask us questions which we like to call "stupid questions", but if you think it in the bright side, you have to give them credit cause they took time to actually think of it. As we grow older, our creativity becomes more practical, as in how people say "not fun". Have we ever asked the question on where our "fun" creativity has went?
In my personal view, as we grow up, we tend to mature in thinking. Yes, everyone knows that, but have you realized one more thing? We start to bring in the word "shame" into our life. It's like everything that is out of logic is ridiculous, and it is a shame that we, at this age still think of it. The contradiction comes when people say, "I am inspired by this kid's funny question".
Why can't we think those by ourselves? Are we really lacking creativity compared to a child? No, it's because we worry of what others think of us. We worry people will make fun of us and think of us as ludicrously childish. We are shy to give out ideas that others think that only kids can think of. Face it, we've been kids before, we could come up with that idea ourselves, we're just not brave enough to show the idea so we take some kid as an excuse. But what if that idea turns out great? You'll be the one regretting not admitting that idea was yours and all credit goes to that imaginary "kid".
Therefore, I've came up with a conclusion that creativity needs courage as well. If you're not daring to open up your ideas, think out of the box, you'll never get something originally by you. Never let the word "ashamed","absurd" and "juvenile"" affect your creativity. Just be yourself and show them what you got cause they're the ones who don't have the guts to show their stuff or maybe they are the ones who aren't creative. Just think what you like to think, there's no age limit for creativity, the only boundary there is is actually set by yourself, it's up to you to broaden it, or narrow it.
That is my two cents, thanks for reading this. This quote is a great conclusion to my opinion. Hope this inspires at least one person out there.
We never stop playing because we grow old,
we grow old because we stop playing...
