Forcing it..

I don't feel very creative. I always thought I was, that was kind of my thing. I was an artsy fartsy type. Always drawing, coloring, scrap booking, taking photographs, moving furniture around because I had a "vision".

Can you lose it? Like when you lose your keys. You look everywhere, rip every inch of your house apart looking for it, and swear it wouldn't be in the one place you don't look, and right before you start ripping up the floor boards, you find it in that one place. Is that what will happen? Or am I just screwed?

I have been trying to force it lately.. even as I sit here and right this. Almost losing myself with myself. Even after Hub Hub bought me my fancy new camera.. I have lost any inspiration to get it out and start snapping away. I envy other people, and the amount of thought and imagination they have. I thought I did too. Well I was wondering if I might be able to buy a little off the people that have more than enough. I need it back.. I need to feel crafty, and nifty.

I know a lot of that has to do with the amount of changes I have made lately with my medication, but I am tired of allowing that to have so much control over me. But I guess that's kinda the point.

Hopefully soon, you might be able to catch a few glimpses of my creative bad ass!

i feel this way a lot too... like with writing, my major talent, i feel it slip away and then come back-- i think creativity is something you have to keep at all the time, so you don't lose it.

if you go back in my blog i've done some stuff to keep my head busy, like my monsters a day, and i did color week (photo project), and stuff like that-- little things can keep you busy. lots of ideas on flickr and in other blogs.

keept trying, don't give up (as the yo! gabba gabba song goes).

I really enjoy looking through your blog, with all your projects.. I have no idea how you manage to come up with so many creative outlets.. so jealous!! When i am browsing through flickr for my finds.. I find so many cupcakes and total "Kollen" images..
