To Want To Do

I was chatting with someone the other day.

They told me that they believed that they had a creative personality.

But also admitted that they could not paint.

They said they couldn’t draw either.

Or sing, write, act or, indeed, create anything of note.

But still, they identified as being creative.

And it made me think, yes, that’s how I feel about myself at times.

In fact, it’s how I feel quite often.

And later, as I began to think it over, I realised that to be creative is more about how you think than what you do. To have the ability to see and imagine new things that excite and motivate is surely what being creative is all about.

And that is inspiring.

But oh, to one day find that elusive talent and actually turn those thoughts into something more tangible.
