"I'm Not Creative, Am I?"

Sun Feb 22, 2009, 9:56 PM
For many years, I have believed that I am not creative or artistic. Shoot, I can't draw, paint or do any other activities associated with being artistic. Not very well, that is! Sure, I like to take photographs and videos. I like to write and mess around with website design. But I'm not creative.

Today, I found myself going over pictures I took yesterday. As I was cropping and adjusting, a felt a voice say to me, "See, you ARE creative!" My response was, "What? Me?!" To this, "Yes, look at the beauty you see in the world. That is unique to YOU. No one else sees the world as you see it. Remember that since you were created, you are creative." For the first time in my life, I'm starting to believe it.

Looking at pictures I've taken, videos I've put together, articles I've written and other things I've done over the years has given me a new hope that I do have something to offer. And what I have to offer is unique.

Wow, I am creative!

I miss you too! It's nice to see some new artwork from you. :)

It's been a while. I have some paintings, but haven't had time to scan them. :shrug: ah well.

You're welcome! I added you to my "watch" list. :)

the doubly funny thing is that you're the only one who really has access to the OTHER, invisible part of my life. AKA what remains of my involvement in the Zelda community, namely its artistic side. I do admit, it's a part of me. A seemingly silly part, I know, but it's rooted so deeply and positively in my ten-year-old heart. I could go on about how I feel about Zelda for pages and pages, honestly. Some people have thier make up and shoes, or their romance movies, their books/book series, or their history, etc. I have Zelda. :shrug:

But I think that's awesome, though. Although some people might think it's odd, your love for Zelda is part of who you are. And that's part of the uniqueness of how God made you to be.

It's the same with my love for history. It might seem odd for some people but that's part of my uniqueness. And I'm such a history nerd too! :D
