It’s pretty fuckin cool to be human and to just be able to express the stuff that you want to. Ideals and feelings and thoughts and jokes and work and social etiquette and art and hunger and desire and all that stuff.
What’s your default feeling? If you’re just chilling, how would you describe that feeling?
Do you normally pump yourself up about shit you wanna do? Are you habitually hungry? Are you a hater on other people - their clothes, car, relationships, Instagram feed? Would you say that you’re more curious, or don’t usually put your nose into other people’s business? Do you have a book at home that you just cannot wait to be reading? Are you still bummed about an ex or something that someone told you a certain time?
It’s all good.
A big question to ask is if that what you want to be feeling on the regular? If yes, that’s tight! Keep at it!
If not though, is it time to change? What sucks about thinking/feeling that thing or train of thought or whatever? Why do you do it then? What itch does it still scratch? You still itchy? haha
Expression is the blanket term for basically everything you do. You’re expressing an intangible material through you and your actions into the physical, consensual universe. We’re all always expressing stuff, even thoughts and vibrations. Thought you weren’t?
You could be expressing charity, hunger, artistic expressions, musical vibes and moods and vibes and all that, and you can also be expressing greed, fear, confidence, attraction to someone, desire to help someone else or anyone else or everyone else.
It’s all expression.
We do nothing but express. Communication even to oneself is expression. Dance is expression. The act of writing is an act of expression, let alone the ideas involved, simply the desire to communicate and explain one’s own thoughts via written words. There’s even the term facial expressions in everyday life to describe stuff that you do with your face to communicate and express your self and your insides.
Creativity as I experience it is basically conspicuous expression on purpose. That’s a funny way to put it, but yeah. That’s how I feel about it.
Creativity is focused expression in a certain channel for a certain amount of time. Very vague, yes. But how do you define it? I’m gonna bet similarly, right?
Even when you “hold back” expression, you’re just expressing a different thing or the two things together, layered.
You’re always expressing something!
Learn to love that, accept it, do it, and move on with your life. Do cool stuff with expression. Be expressive on purpose.
Since you’re always expressing and you legit can’t stop, are you expressing the ideals and desires that you really want, or just some bullshit stuff that you saw on TV that your friends do too? If you legit want to do stuff like that, that’s fine. Own it. Own everything you do, everyone.
If you don’t, now’s as good a time as any to do something different and express something else.
