I think I've stopped being creative because of the futility of Time.
In a way, you could say that realizing & admitting the impermanence of Time is relieving and numbing all at once. I am a collector of a million things I dont really care about. I always have a million projects in my head; my interests in life are almost limitless regarding arts, creation & many other topics. Im not one thats easily bored, I would be perfectly happy not to have to work to live
the only downfall being that I would have to listen to my thoughts all day long.
Have you ever felt that work might act as a safeguard? The tiredness that it brings ends the stream of thoughts and/or mutes it for a while. Our brains are like 24-hour radio airplay. Who wouldnt become totally insane when submitted to nonstop information 24/7? It does make sense that one has this need to shut the brain more often than not. But I lost track about the main point here. Lets go back to the beginning.
The impermanence of Life & time.
It seems that this particular topic is a recurrent one in Kinto-land... You might have noticed... Now, how to reconcile the fact that you (as a human being) feel the need to be re-assured about your time on this planet by creating things, collecting stuff to make it all feel more real and the fact that you know that nothing lasts & that nothing will come with you in your grave when its time to shred your old mortal coil?
Why wouldnt you want to leave a trace? Why is it so important to feel that need to leave a mark, so that people still remember you when youre gone? What difference will it make since youre gone?? This is so utterly pointless when you think about it, its almost funny.
The only reason why I would create things in this lifetime is because maybe just one sentence, one picture, one song, one thought, turned into a moment of Eternity like a raindrop before it touches the surface of the ocean might help someone else later/someday. That is the greatest achievement, if you can help another of your fellow human beings to go through this life happier than they thought they could be. So yes, it is worthwhile to leave things behind you. But they fade so fast that (way too) often one doesnt bother giving them in the first place...
This writing is my way of giving love to you all.
After a really dull Friday evening, I was left in the Insomnia Theatre again and woke up this morning feeling uneasy. Then I called a fellow human being the most Beautiful soul, she has. And the words she gave me are the reason behind this writing, for when the disturbing thoughts arose again, as I was about to take a shower & get ready for the day, I decided that this time I wasn't going to let go of the idea & the drive that were pushing me to write down those few words.
Maybe is creativity not so difficult.
Creativity is listening to your heart and finding time to let go, because even one tiny second you may give can make somebody elses lifetime a happier place to be.
to all. Be good, kids.
