There have been times when I realized my idea was not good. There have been times when others around me have told me my idea was not good, and after further thought, I agreed.

There has been music I created I did not much enjoy after the fact. I’ve made attempts at writing song lyrics, poetry, and even a book that did not develop as I would have liked. I also tried painting. I have tried and will continue trying to be creative rather than regurgitative. 

We ridicule people who bear their creative souls. We ignore things we are unfamiliar with. We mock the ones whose ultimate definition of success is being their own true selves. We dismiss change as being radical instead of creative.

The status quo pushes and I’m pushing back.
