Express my Creativity

I’ve ordered (and received by mail already) ‘Wreck this journal’ so I can ‘force’ myself to think outside the box and be more creative in another way than I usually am. I have already started doing stuff, it’s so much fun! I’ll post what I’ll be doing with it, to remind myself of my creativity. I’ve also ordered ‘Creative License’ which is more about drawing, an area I should also explore more. I’m terrible at drawing but I feel it simply doing it will stimulate the creative brain. Looking forward to getting that one in the mail as well! Exciting!
Life is so wonderful when I actively express my creativity!

When can this goal go into the ‘I’m done’ section? I’m busy rehearsing for a play (The Cherry Orchard, by Tsjechov), so I’m very proud I dared to take that step. I’ve got my first photography exhibition on its way, and also enjoy painting and making music.
Would be lovely to take an art course of any sort, just to be with like-minded people, and to force myself to be creative on a regular basis.
So, well, maybe I should consider this one ‘done’ very soon!

I doodle kitten faces to my boyfriend pretty often. It makes him go hehe. I’m not sure what it is about him that makes me want to draw and sing again. I feel happier.

... taking photos each day, seeing the world in a new way, writing and searching for the most perfect combination of words just to make someone’s day a little bit brighter.
me likes this. :)

well, the person who encourages my creativity is the last one I would ever expect to do it, one of my colleagues.
note to future self: thank God for not having prejudice :)

I’ve decided that, as a part of expressing my creativity, I want to perform in a play, on stage. I’ve done so many things backstage, now it’s time to let the secret wish of being on stage myself, become reality.
I’ve applied for an amateur play (Tjechov’s The Cherry Orchard) but I’m not sure if I can audition for it. If it doens’t work out I’ll be attending a theater course and hopefully learn to be more confident on stage. And thus one day be in a play!

dancing.
writing.
seeing the world in a new way.
playing with a strong sense of music, much greater than I am, and completely let myself go.
completely.

I’m filled with many ideas, and thoughts and things I want to express in art, writing or free word, but I have trouble being expressive.
