art therapy
Sometimes all you need is a little art therapy. One Sunday afternoon, some friends piled into the gameroom with all of the art supplies a childhood of creativity can accumulate. We were a little overzealous with the materials, but we sorted through...found our medium of choice and got to work. There is something about making something that you don't have to make. Finishing something you don't have to finish. I can't put my finger on it, but it's a good feeling.
This afternoon brought back memories of high school art class when we would feed off of each other in our creativity. It's easy to lose your momentum alone. It's easy to start getting logical and tell yourself that you're wasting time. But when we were all together, everyone was so interested in seeing the finished product that I couldn't help but finish.
So after this little adventure, I would encourage you to be creative. Maybe in a small way with a box of crayolas and a Disney coloring book. Or maybe you will get inspired to quit your day job and apply to art school like Pam Beesley. Either way, take a step in the 'don't have to' direction.
