During my high school years, I was really involved in the art department, making my own pieces and going to formal events representing my school. When I would showcase my art, people would come to admire my work and there was a constant question that I was asked, "Where do you get your inspiration from?" To tell the truth, there was no exact answer. Inspiration, along with, creativity, for me, does not mean that I go looking for something to become inspired from and start to sketch or create something. Creativity and inspiration find me, and not the other way around. I think to myself, "Why would I go looking when it can easily find me?" Creativity is born from society, either it can be a good creativity, one that showcases the marvelous things that our society has to offer, or bad creativity, one that showcases the disaster that society is.
Looking back, I seem to be getting my creativity from myself, who I am as a person, what my interest are, from the people that I talk to and what I perceive society as. Many people think to themselves that they are not creative because they can't paint, sketch, draw etc. but the reality of the situation is that everyone is creative, but in their own way. Creativity is something that is made within each person and it just keeps growing as the time goes by based on what one has experienced throughout the years. Creativity is versatile, and once it comes to me, I know that it will be beyond my expectations.
