Creativity can be a gift or a curse, a blessing or a lesson. It is up to you on how you see it. What is it to you?
To me it all depends on the situation. If I am being creative and making something that people can like, than it can be a gift. But on the other hand, when I make something that I know people will like, but never understand, want, or like than it can feel as if it was a curse.
The reason I would feel as if it were a curse is because, what I make could be of good use for some people, but they would never get it, or purchase it, probably because it is too simple, or too complicated for them to understand, and get. It could also be that the thing that I had made may have too much heart and soul into that they cannot understand it, or they cannot handle the intensity that it can bring, or pass on to the viewer.
At times it can seem like it is a blessing, because I can have the ability to do, and understand things on a whole different level that most people won't be able to understand it on, and may never be able to get to see it from different perspective like I can and it can make me feel blessed to be able to understand it like I can, but at the same time it can make me feel like an outsider, and a weirdo, because I can get too deep with it and make my self stand out more than I wanted to.
The reason why it seem like a lesson is, because I will make a mistake on going too deep, and putting too much heart and soul into what I do, that most people won't understand it, and I won't get the type of feed back that I was looking for, and it may make me get really depressed, sad, upset, and ill. But I will be able to learn from my own mistakes, and be able to adjust how I approach things, and I can also be able to readjust my expectations so that when I get the feed back that I didn't want to get I won't get too upset, and when I get better feedback than what I expected than I will be even happier, and excited than I would of ever imagined.
So the essence of the story, is that everything that happens to you, and how you see it is all in your perspective of what happened to you and what you can learn from it. You should never try to just give up without trying it again with a little bit of a different stance or approach, and a little adjustments to how you will try it this next time around. You also can't expect everybody to understand you, and see things the same way as you do, because as human beings we all have a special ability to be unique, and different from each other by choice, and sometimes by chance. Since we have the ability to be unique, we also have the ability to look at things differently, and adjust how we approach things, unlike animals we have a choice on how we carry things out, unlike our animal counterparts who don't really have much of a choice. So creativity can either be a gift or a curse, a lesson or a blessing, it is all in how you perceive it, and how you look at.
So next time you are being creative, and trying to make something unique, you need to remember that not everyone will be able to see it like you do, and don't get upset about that, because eventually the right people will come along and like, and understand it and then it will all be worth it.
Just to let you know, I too struggle from these exact same things still, but on another level, and I am still trying to find that fine line between being too deep, and not being deep enough so that I will not get too bored and see it as a waste of time, but also so I don't get too deep, and cause most people to not understand it. But with a little observance, patience, practice, adjustment, and time you will be able to find that fine line, and be able to make some of your wildest dreams come true, and you will not get too upset about things not going your way, and you will be able to enjoy what you do as it is, and be able to enjoy life fuller and better. You will also wake up everyday and be excited to be able to do what you love and strive for, and you will be happier and more excited everyday.
Thank you for reading my post, and I hope you have a great, exciting, blessed, and beautiful day!!
