Creativity can’t be taught, it’s an act of self exploration. This thought came to me late at night. I was  thinking about how i go to art school and what i’ve been learning about. Until now i haven’t been taught once how to be creative because i don’t think that’s something one can teach. i think creativity comes from not giving yourself boundaries, not being afraid to try new things, being curious, wanting to know more about yourself and about the world, how you see yourself, how others see you, how you see the world and what your purpose is. It’s being self aware and in the moment. I think putting all of these together is what brings you to self exploration and with that comes creativity. I believe everyone can be creative but not everyone knows how to unleash it or find it within themselves. It’s about being in touch with your inner self, things you’re passionate about, and things you dislike, things you’re good at and things you need to work on and the most important tool to have while doing all of this is self confidence. not being afraid and not saying no to your heart. Allowing your mind to wander and knowing that you’re unique and different from everyone in every way possible and that its a beautiful thing. What you can bring to the table others can’t or even if they can it can never be thought out in the same way. a lot of us are afraid of knowing ourselves but I believe it’s the most important thing to do and it’s the first thing we need to do because finding and knowing ourselves leads to beautiful things and self doubt can only kill us.
