Breathing New Life Into My Lost Childhood Creativity

Welcome to a little experiment I decided to put myself through. Being a person in my twenties who still has his childhood passion of creativity, but lacking the motivation to do so, I have decided to encourage myself to grow by starting my very first blog, where I will be detailing the journey of my creative endeavours.

Before I begin my journey, I would like to talk a little about myself. I grew up in a small town in eastern Europe with not a lot of friends or physical activity. However I did have a vivid imagination which led me to not only discover many interesting worlds in books, films or video games, but even in my own mind. This imagination of mine lead me to discover and try many different creative mediums in my teenage years, however the same as for a lot of people, once you start growing up and enter the world of adulthood the passions you had as a child start dimming. And even though I would find myself daydreaming about pursuing those lost creative urges, once it came down to it, I could not make myself to actually pick up a pen or a brush and that creativity would slowly die out.

BUT NO MORE. I finally realized that I do not want see my creativity die and in twenty years, looking back at what my life has been, regretting the loss of that creative spark. And with the internet, seeing all of the amazing and creative people around the world, drawing inspiration from every little thing around me I have decided to once again pursue what makes me happy and pick up a pen to write, a brush to paint, or even clay to mold something out of myself that I could be proud of.

Obviously as with any new project, especially those that are new and unusual, I am expecting a lot of hardship, challenges and struggles. Even while I was preparing for this challenge, I was really ambitious, trying to challenge myself into doing something creative every single week, however what I soon realized, that most adults with busy lives come to terms with, is that I simply would not have the time and energy to consistently focus on my hobbies every week. And so, setting more realistic expectations for myself, I decided to have a monthly Blog, where I would share my experiences with you.

I hope that you will come on this journey of mine, where I try to relearn all the things I though I knew before, and to branch out an expand into even more creative mediums that I never even though about pursuing. I am excited to see where this path leads me and maybe, I might even be able to inspire you, dear reader, to take up a pencil or a paint brush and put your imagination out into the real world.
