Let’s just ignore the fact that I haven’t
blogged in ages. Deal?
Deal.
Moving on…
I've been trying to push the boundaries of my
placate zones in different aspects of my life. With any task, I can usually go
only so far and pinball around in my own small space of acquaintance. I glance
off off the same ideas over and over. But, how long before I hit TILT?
I've always fancied myself a bit of a
chameleon. I take bits of what I see and know to help myself evolve. The
problem is, I’m not finding my own way. When I recently started a project
journal, I decided to stop allowing the lined pages confine me. I’m varying the
size of my print, the margins and using words to carve pictures. For every
little step across a line, I feel a little more liberated. And also a bit more
inspired.
Creativity is something I always envy in
others. Whether it’s writing, art, cooking, fashion, anything really. I’m
always thinking, I wish I had that cleverness. Now, I do think that this is not always a learned thing. Some people are
just born with that door open. However, I don’t like limits and I do believe
that you can be taught, accustomed, to a certain degree.
So this is my current self-improvement
project. Pushing my boundaries. Letting my brain forget about common practices
and finding what works for me. I’m hoping to pick up some forgotten art
projects to give me a push in the right direction.
Even if your goal is to write, exercising
your mind in other areas helps you branch out. If I can pick up a project, I
can look at it and see how to make it better. I can dig in and clip here, add
there. The same goes for my writing. Editing is like pruning the rose bush. Or
adding a red stripe to that abstract painting. And the more I push my
creativity, the better that final product is going to be.
Rab Rakha!!!!!
