Note: Following is a collection of well lets say of half hour in my brain, thats how the silly thing works. Good or bad I don’t know but thats the way it is.

When your 18 you want to do so much with your life, some want to be the next billionaire other want to change the world, I even had a cousin who had a complete plan with blue prints to take over the world. At that time we really believe in it and it’s those exact passions which at times results in truly brilliant ideas or well then there always are suicides. Or then there always is a possibility of your being 23 doing absolutely nothing with your life and writing about when you had that passion.

It’s really fun to see kids with that energy and seeing them actually believing in something can happen for them or the world, the desire to be something big meaningful or rich for that matter. There is so much you want to do in so little time. You want to get yourself enrolled in a good college learn something meet new people, make friends or who knows wanting to find your lover.

Your involved in art, theatre, plays, gaming groups, hell you make your own band then slowly it fades away and it hits you. You’re going to live the same life that your parents did, you’re going to be doing the same old shitty jobs all your life and you’re going to be happy about it. You’ll marry someone who is good for you, have a decent job a car two kids and work your ass off to keep them happy. And your kids are going to be 18 and hope to be somebody one day. It sucks but that’s life and it’s going to be that way and well you really can’t change it.

There are different people that you meet in the different phases of your life often people who think that will stay there forever. You instantly feel a connection and it all seems to be going well then things start to fade away, its natural somehow.

Let’s talk about creativity and last teen years, I think everyone wrote poetry when they were 16. Its natural things come into mind and that is one of the best stuff that comes from you, some keep following it and keep writing it down other well they get lost in the usual activities of life and lose it. For me fortunately/unfortunately creativity hits me hard when something’s not right. I think that happens to a lot of people that if things are looking up creativity doesn’t really hit you.

I think the worst thing someone can do to human beings is give them what they desire I mean all that they desire. Because it’s never about the end result well it is if it’s a shiny red Ferrari but usually it isn’t. The whole fun and the whole thing is the process the struggle that you do to get to a certain place. If you’re given everything that you want you just lost there is no more hope nothing to look forward to nothing you want. Your life’s a complete halt, that’s the worst thing you could do to a man.

Hope is an amazing thing; it just takes you to places you never imagine. It’s something that just keeps you going keeps you happy. Not knowing is the best thing that could happen to humans, if you knew everything about everything there would not be a sense of purpose something or wanting to achieve something. We would just on our dumb asses thinking WTF now?

Creative!

Every single person is born creative. The lord took a little share from all his qualities and spread it amongst the universe. Now, some people were very clever and wise. They climbed up the highest mountain and stood on its highest point and caught all they could wit their arms wide open. Some stood on low ground watching the sky hoping for the golden dust!

Being creative is not something devious, special or ‘freak’. Every one can write, draw, and paint. It’s only that what drawing, writing, painting people think is good or bad in a particular society or in a particular situation. We have developed criteria’s for art what’s good, bad wrong, right artistic or not. Artists and critics we all talk of breaking the lines getting out of the box but what would be praised isn’t usually so out of the box we always still tend to admire things we understand or are still in the norms.

Name a girl who wasn’t a photographer when she was 16. A guy who didn’t wake up in the middle of the night and wrote something in his diary that just came into his mind. A kid who didn’t painted pictures of mommy and daddy before he actually knew how to write alphabets.

It’s just a matter of priorities like which girls keeps on shooting herself or other stuff with her camera which guy keeps writing in the middle of the night instead of saying forget it and sleep. It’s also sometimes about societies and people around you. Like which society allows you to do your photography instead of what all ‘others’ are doing, or helps you keep writing better verses or drawing the stupid fox instead of making you go to an medical or an engineering college like all other wise kids.

Sometimes it’s a matter of believing in yourself and sometimes it’s just the ‘other’ million reasons that don’t let you be an artist or so called creative in the social structure. The point here is not to define a thin line who is an artist or who isn’t or just brag that anyone can be an artist or they can’t be one. The purpose of the fatigue is to tell you that being creative is not actually something to brag about all day or to be really proud of that you are and others are not. And also if you know you have something just don’t stop believing in your self it’s not a matter of who thinks your creative your doing art or just making a messed up picture. What actually matters is what you think about it and consider art. Believe!
