FEEL SOMETHING BY EMMA HEISE

When thinking about creativity, the creative mindsets are bound to come up. These 8 mindsets  live in everything that everyone does. People try to emulate them, understand them, and sometimes even avoid them. When I think about creativity, I think about feelings.  

Why do we choose to do anything?  

Because we feel something towards it. 

Why do we date the people we do? 

We feel something towards them. 

Why do we listen to certain music? 

It made us feel something. 

Why did I choose to allow creativity run my life?  

When my creative confidence thrives, I feel something.  

I want everyone to feel something when thinking about creativity and more specifically the creative mindsets. Each of these songs makes me think, makes me smile, and makes me feel.
