"I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money" - Pablo

  I've noticed that lately, I have wasted a good amount of time staring at my walls. Not in a "The Yellow Wallpaper" sort of way, more like a "now what" sort of way. I'm sad to say that recently I have had a lack of creative drive. Really, its quite unfortunate. I took it for granted having the ability to keep my self entertained with simply my imagination. Well! No more! You heard it hear folks! Creativity on. 
  But, where to begin? I feel as though in order to enable the creative juices to flow, one would need to live in an environment that is encouraging. An environment in which you could experiment, brainstorm, draw inspiration, feel comfortable enough to relax and allow the imagination to engage. It seems to me that the place to begin would be with your home. It would make me very pleased to have my home be an extension of myself, of course. Currently, I am in the process of fully accepting who I am and what makes me, me. Allowing myself to be open to more experiences and opportunities, that I might have otherwise rejected. Rejected only because it would contradict with my desire to be invisible, but no more! All I desire now is the freedom to live without my own personal restraints and to explore every option available. Unfortunately, this expands my desires, which ( despite what we are taught by our culture ) are not immediately met due to my complete lack of play money. Sad Face. 
  So, it will be a long and arguous journey, full of (hopefully) patience and dedication to the ultimate goal, which is cultivating an environment of creativity. I suppose, it'll be worth it. In the mean time, i'll attempt to keep the inspiration flowing by exposing myself to other individuals imagination. I suppose going to a museum would be an excellent start. One of the local art museums in town always revitalizes my verve, sadly it is closed on Mondays. However, when The Blanton Museum of Art is open, it is an amazing place to appreciate the artistic ability of humans. With an ever changing assortment of exhibitions, you are always exposed to refreshing and innovative perceptions of reality. Plus, students get a discount. 
  Other options I have available are the online forums and social media like websites, such as Pinterest. What a marvelous idea, allowing individuals to connect and share. This site has helped me in the past and is sure to cure my recent bout of boredom. Now to figure out how to fit all the projects into a 24 hour day...
