The one thing that inspires me is creativity in all of its forms. The world that I choose to follow is full of people who create in just about every medium imaginable. They are not part of the ready-made industry that moves with superficiality. They are the ones who prefer to create in the shadows, and just hope that maybe someday a beam of light will shine upon their creations. The shadows are full of these talented creatives who do what they do because of the definition of today’s holiday, Valentine’s Day: LOVE. So, instead of giving your support to someone well-known, how about giving it to someone who craves to be known? Not for the sake of popularity, but for the sake of investing in the soul of creativity. That soul needs to be continually nourished so that our world resonates with the purity of talent, and not the glitter of superficiality.
Here’s a suggestion to celebrate today: Love a creative. Just look around you, because they’re everywhere. Or better yet, love creativity by making something yourself. It’ll nourish your soul, and also spread to others in the gift that keeps on giving. Your heart is just full of love waiting to be shared.
