Often times I find myself in a state of emptiness. In a state where there seems to be a roadblock holding me back from creating the art that I desire to create. Im sure many people can relate to me when I say, 'this moment seems unproductive and i hate it'. What i have learned is that, if approached correctly, these are the best times for expression. Some of our deepest emotions and creativity can be met together during a time of emptiness. We may hear a song that triggers that emotion, see a painting or photo that grasps that feeling, that words really cant explain. The only way to explain that emotion is responding with your own form of art. By doing so we all benefit from some sort creative thinking and connectivity.
This past week I was overwhelmed with the amount of things I put on my plate, which I don't blame on anyone but myself, but I was so determined to find a positive outcome out of every situation instead of stress about it. I began to write down each and every situation, imagining worst case scenarios, dreaming positive outcomes, and I ended up in front of the piano writing music. Eyes closed I played minute after minute turning into hours, without a care of a single missed call. This moment didn't seem to crash as soon as I would of thought, rather the pen met with the paper and words were articulated.
Don’t let empty times be wasted, rather use it for all its worth.
