Creativity

For the past week, I have been watching a lot of videos on woodwork and DIY stuff on Youtube. I used to tell people that apart from the fact that I want to be a pastor, I would love to get into woodworking and be a carpenter of some sort. I imagine in my head the things that I would want to build and the furniture that I want to make if I were to get a place of my own.

I guess I will always be stuck within the realm of creativity, a perspective of coming out with something of my own. As simple as having to draw a figure or object on a piece of paper, represents having to put something of my own ideas out in the open. But more importantly is how I have so much ideas in my head that is dying to come out and I am finding all various outlets to display what fills my imagination. This ranges from character design in comics, writing my own songs, writing my own stories, producing my own film, developing my own food recipes, designing my own house, developing lifestyle systems, and the list goes on.

The 2 things that often occupy my thoughts are, the intricacies of human nature and its relations to God, and the other is concepts my creativity.

God has given me pleasure to create, and I often feel fulfilled when I can realize them out tangibly. Whenever I come to talk about the possibility of allowing my creativity to be made real excites me, and whenever opportunity arises for creativity to be exercise aligns me into motivation.

I also suspect that my creativity comes from a place of need. Seeing that I do not necessarily have resources or opportunity as abundant as others, it drive me to want to do pursue it in my own ways. Not every creative pursuits are realized today, some of which requires more than what I can afford. But it does appease an inner fulfillment that I have ideas and concepts in my head all planned up, just waiting for opportunity to strike.
