CLOSE YOUR EYES AND CREATE BY DEREK CORCORAN

Creativity is about being yourself it's about breaking conventions that society has put forth as a norm and thinking differently. It's not about looking up to somebody when young and saying I want to be them when I grow up,  but rather I want to be me when I grow up. Creativity is about listening to our brains for they are the creature that we are, they make it possible to be ourselves and give us the power to close your eyes and imagine anything with no limits, not one person can say I can't imagine that because everyone can close their eyes and create. Creativity to me is taking the known and changing it into the unknown for everybody else. The idea that we all have some sort of innate biological ability to think differently than anyone that has ever lived and can create something new that no one has ever thought of before, and instead we waste it worrying our whole lives on how can we change our differences to fit in and think the same to those around you. Don’t kill your differences, close your eyes and create.
