I consider myself a person who is able to experience the creative works of others deeply. I commit to a complete understanding of the work and the motivations that brought it to life, and I am utterly fascinated by other creatives. This extends to every conceivable medium and it is an amazing time to be alive because the sheer amount of content to consume could serve as a full time job.
Now if there could just be a full time job that allows me to consume creative works non-stop, I’d be good to go for life. I could spend my time immersed in the worlds others dared to create and share. I could promote the works I feel the strongest about and hope that doing so could encourage others to bring their creations to the world.
I believe that the creativity we all possess in some form or another is the primordial spark used to light the flame of consciousness burning in all of us. This spark lit a fire in me decades ago and the fire has never went out, at times consuming everything. Yet other times the flames will be absent but a bed of hot coals remains ready for new fuel indefinitely. So long as I breathe, I continue to provide one of the key components to this infinite combustion.
I want my life to be about the pursuit of creativity. The creativity in others is every bit as crucial to me as my own, and I want to champion this superpower that so many of us possess. How I go about doing that in a way that helps me pay the bills is still just beyond my understanding, but I feel it is possible. It is a task that I am certain I’d be great at, and it would thrill me to no end.
