"...but I’m not even creative"

YES YOU ARE. Stop making excuses. You can tap into your creative mind at any given moment as long as you’re open. Maybe you cant paint or draw but, when it comes to innovative programming ideas, you’re the go-to. Maybe you’re not a strong writer but your family considers you the queen of D-I-Y projects. The point is: E V E R Y B O D Y is creative in their own way.

I’ll prove it. Take a look at this ink blot (down there, friends ↓). What do you see? What does it mean? I guarantee you that every single person reading this post will have a different answer.  

I feel like I’m looking at a mirrored image of a powerful ballet dancer.

Now, the interpretation is up to you. Whatever comes to your mind is where your creativity lies. Accept it, get in tune with it, and capitalize on it. I promise you, life is much more fun that way :)

The HeART of the Streets is Rebellious and Inspirational

One of my favorite things on this entire planet is street art. There’s a rawness about it that you really can’t find in anything else. It tells the stories of the unheard, sheds light on the people that get overlooked. From its controversial and political origins to its abstract and unusual nature, street art is so chaotic that it’s perfectly harmonious.

Living in these times, we have to force political/moral dialogue and get real comfortable with being uncomfortable. 

It’s so dope to experience art that makes a statement when words fail us. Everybody may not want to see it but, it forces everyone to look. Street art provides a beautiful way for us to really analyze and reevaluate ugly situations. “Vandalism” or not, I appreciate all street artists for getting their messages across by any means necessary. 

Call me an instigator but, I always like to think, good art isn’t good unless it pisses some people off, y’all.
