I wrote this to a friend on Facebook who claimed her spark went out years ago...
I have come to realize that creativity takes on many forms!
Art,
life, survival... this past year has been such a strain on me I have
considered giving up art... in reality I have considered giving up
everything! This is the first time I have actually typed it out, said
it to another. But it's true!
I've lost my full time job, lost
my house, lost my self confidence, divorced, spent 72 days in jail
(nearly destroyed me), had permanent hearing loss and vision loss
because of worsening MS and continue to swap the bills I can't pay this
month but will in place of some other next.
And yet my mind generates ideas, thoughts throughout the year that I know I will either write about or create one day.
Of
course when going through such events creativity gets diverted on how
to survive, and surviving, what we do, means our creativity has survived
because we us it to be sure!
