I feel like I am able to be creative everyday but what the creativity is applying to is what matters. Creativity to me is not just thinking of things and using my imagination to create something out of the blue but also analyzing a specific situation and using what is presented in front of me to create new thoughts of my own and how I choose to analyze what the next step is. Each of us are creative in our own right every day because we see the world through our own eyes and we have to think about what we are going to do with this input of information. Creativity sometimes just comes out on its own when you have that spark of an idea that just pops into your head like an “ahah!” moment. You may try to be creative by seeing how other people do things and then try to come up with your own approach in figuring out the same answer or solution. Creativity may also just come from a random moment when images start forming in your head and they begin building themselves into a bigger picture. Creativity makes itself apparent throughout every day of your life because it’s that unexpectedness even to yourself that makes something special come alive. You didn’t think that you had it in you but once it’s brought to fruition, you can be proud of the fact that your creativity is unlike any other person’s.
I think sometimes I feel comfortable living in ambiguity because it allows you to interpret the situation in your own terms and how it applies to your own life. You can’t know every detail about every piece of information that is in the world because your brain might turn to mush but this gives you the opportunity to keep exploring and thinking of alternative scenarios which can be creative. I feel that it is okay not to understand something from time to time because that allows me to try to come up with an answer or explanation on my own and also discuss with others what they think about it. This exchange of thoughts and opinions helps all of us gain new perspectives so that even though we may not have thought of that before and may not agree with it, we can understand that there are other arguments in how to interpret the facts presented in front of us. Sometimes it is kind of exciting to be confused because that just gives us greater incentive to figure it out on our own or with the help of others. We have that thirst for education and knowledge because it is embedded within us that we need to know what stuff is about and why it has to be that way. If we understood everything in this vast universe of information, we would all be living boring lives of repeating everything that we know and trying to come up with something new to figure out and discover.
