several thoughts about creation...

I can create.
I can’t do anything but create.
I can’t learn anything if I don’t do it in any creative way. I just can’t learn anything by heart.
if I do any repetative job, I must do it in a creative way - otherwise I just don’t do it - I get bored a way too easily if there’s no creation in what I do.
I must create. otherwise I die - mentally. stopping creating is like stopping breathing. or eathing. (either way - the final is death, on any level).
creation is to be found everywhere - you just have to open your eyes wide to see it, or better to say - to open your mind wide. everywhere, if you need to see it. I do.
creation is not necessarily beauty, but in the most common case it is. but beauty is just an opinion - and - as every opinion - everyone can define it in different way.
creation is to provoke. creation leads to creation, as well as to so many other things. it’s open circle.
inspiration is the basic of creation. the talent is an ability to express yourself freely. you can be so damn smart, but if you can’t express yourself you’ll be the only one who knows it.
you can’t learn how to express yourself - you can be taught how to use your abilities, but never how to create. to create is to do something new - no-one can teach you how to do new things, they just can show you how to use your hands in the process of creation. no-one can give you a clue how to use your mind, where the creation comes from.
you can’t fly if you can’t see the sky. but once you reach the sky you either fall down or either you fly higher and higher, so that nothing can stop you.
the first step of creation is to find what you are really good at. I still haven’t found that thing for myself, so I try and try various things, various levels of creating... what I know by now is, that I’m no good in mathematics, science, history, languages (though if I have the ambition to, I can learn anything. I want to learn languages, and I have the ambition to, and so I do... I consider different languages as different ways to express and create, and that’s what I like about learning them). what I know by now is, that I’m good in arts. but art is to be found in thousand forms - drawing, design, music, dance, writing, photography... and any of these has many varities as well. what I know by now is, that I’m good in combinating - writing with drawing and stuff... but what I still don’t know is, what’s exact kind of drawing and writing I’m good at. actually, it’s more correct to say - what I still don’t know is, what’s exact kind of drawing and writing I’m *best* at.
changing yourself is also kind of creation, even if you don’t realize it. I change myself every day, with everything I do.
getting on that, communication can also be considered as kind of creation, at least I clacify it so.
I love in a creative way. I hate in a creative way. I cry in a creative way. I am being happy in a creative way. I hide myself in a creative way. I open myself wide in a creative way. I am being strong and vulnerable at the same time, and everything in between, in creative way. I am what I am in a creative way, I live my life in a creative way. that’s the way I am, and it’s none of anybody’s ablilites to change it, neither I am willing to let anybody try.
creation can be everything and nothing, it depends on the way you define it.
I usually can’t create if anyone is watching me, because the most of the time I try new things, things that I’m not sure if I’m good at, and I feel very insecure, kinda mantally naked, weak.
creation is everything in my life.
I’m no good in anything but creating.

I’d keep on writing on this subject, as I have what more to say, but I have another work to do now....

errrr.... Call me an idiot, but I really don’t know.
Just sometimes I sit and I write and write and write and write... I write just for the sake of writing, thoughts captured together, with, call it No-Point-At-All, I just like writing... and sometimes I share. Just for the sake of sharing.
Boredom is never what makes me write. Boredom makes me feel very dumb, and then I can’t do anything at all.
excuse my English, excuse my ways of expressing, sometimes I lose control over my fingers and I bother whole forums with my thoughts, which, in the best case, doesn’t make the world any worse.
and I’m not being sarcatic.

I can create sod all except an empty bank balance.
I just feel at times I am here for nothing. Work hard pay the bills and nothing left. When I take a long hard look around and see all those people on the dole who have no intention of working and here I am paying my taxes for the likes of them so that they can keep there kids in designer clothes and stuff.
The govement needs to be harder on the likes of these people.

posts liek this originate when a small yet potent amount of crack is consumed with starbucks coffee
the resulting non-sensical post that you would have thought was in reference to the creation of the univeres is in fact a way for the matrix to further enact its control over your tiny mind
HAVE A NICE DAY

Noooooooot this time, really.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll keep deep in my tiny mind this fact (but the tiny mind can’t have any depth, can it? or at least I’d like to believe it can, but it can’t?!!)
(I have the feeling that I’ll live my whole life in great delusions)

ah, and how could I forget - thanks for your clearly stated opinion, I quote >> “the resulting non-sensical post that you would have thought...”

jera...don’t take them to serious. There are people criticizing you who wrote topics far more weird than yours...
I understand what you meant, feel the same in many ways!

LittleSpooky, it’s okay... Sorry for reacting like that!
StillFar - Thanks!

Hey, I also feel like that! Though I’m good in sciences and languages, as far as I know :D
Forgive coyboy, he’s probably always high on something when he writes his poems... so he can’t understand that there are people who don’t need chemicals to write beautiful words :D

Call me an idiot... but what was the point of the post? Boredom? Or that you’re a creative person? I was hopin for the creativity angle m’self...
