So here it is.
I’m reclaiming my creativity.
I’ve started with writing, but I’ve also began singing and playing the
piano again.
What is it that makes us stray from our natural desire to
express? Certainly it’s easier when there aren’t so many things to juggle. My daily agenda not only involves
getting to work or to teach, but also getting two small children fed, prepped,
and ready. Children require
vast amounts of time and energy. Then we naturally start to put all of our focus
on calibrating their lives rather than our own.
Carving out time to listen to good music or make music or
find a perfect poetic turn of phrase is necessary for me. Actually, I’m not sure why I didn’t
think of it before--
I’ve been looking up songs on YouTube, and discovering there
are piano tutorials. I can barely read music, but I can pick up a tune if you
show me the chords. YouTube is my
godsend. Now, I just have to shell
out some cash to get this old piano tuned. 100 bucks and YouTube.
I may once again feel like an artist. Okay, maybe not,
but I will feel like I reclaimed an old part of me.
