Paint My Life: A Poem

We are who we are because of creativity.

Paint My Life: A Poem

We all have a passion. For some it is running a marathon. Other people love playing video games or traveling. I love art and all of the forms it comes in.

Many people fail to understand that even people that are not in creative fields must come up with new ideas and insights in order to move on with tasks in life.

Everyone is creative in their own way.

That is what makes us unique.

Life would be bland without creativity.

Stressed out? Doodle a picture or listen to some music. Art doesn't have to be pen and paper. It is everywhere and in everything.

Photography. Capturing that perfect moment in time. A photo in itself is art.

But art cannot only take you to a world of endless possibilities, but It is a crucial coping mechanism for many people.

You can draw out how you feel. Put your emotions into colors, and into words.

It is important to give yourself time to appreciate creativity, and be creative.

Even if you are not artistic, you can be creative.

Channel you inner thoughts.

Pondering life is healthy.

Wondering and thinking deeply.

Is healthy.

Give your mind time to create. Exercise it. Find a place you love to go and just sit there and think.

Maybe you need to escape reality and be in your own little world.

Create it.

For me it’s the waterfront. The mountainous view and ripples in the water brings me pure joy.

Find your place, your favorite physical place to be and your favorite state of mind to be there.

I was raised around art as a child.

My mom had paintings all over the house and was an artist herself.

My childhood would not have been the same without it.

Being exposed to different mediums inspired me to create.

The fact that I could make anything I wanted into something beautiful for the world to see was absolutely fascinating.

Even if you don't use paints, pastels, or a pencil to create.

Art provides mediums that you cannot touch.

It is a gate way to confidence, and motivation in whatever you do in life.

It clears the mind.

Opens the soul.

We sometimes fear creativeness because it can be new and different.

It gives us a way to express ourselves.

The way we dress, and our style.

Without creativity we would all look the same.

Individuality is what makes us who we are.

We look past this daily.

We are constantly inspired by each others creativity.

Don't let anyone sway you into thinking how you express yourself is wrong.

There are no mistakes in art.

The more you can experience your own originality, the more confidence you acquire, and there is a greater probability that you will be creative in the future.

The idea is to develop the habit watching how you manifest your own creativity.

Eventually, you will come to place greater trust in it and instinctively turn to it when you are confronted with problems.

With age we grow taller, wiser, more independent.

With independence we grow as individuals.

I used to think it was simple.

That we just magically turn into adults.

We must use our surroundings and observations to shape who we want to be.

To create who we are.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
