I'm Not A Madman, I'm Just A Very Creative Person

“I believe in creativity”, which is simple enough to write, but it doesn’t exactly convey my beliefs or ideas on creativity. So by that reasoning, that wasn’t a very creative sentence, but it’s pretty madding talking in a first person perspective and describe this very post in a third person when it itself doesn’t give the reader the ideas behind my beliefs of creativity. But then again it might be just as creative to talk about a subject in such a perspective that it would stand along from a typical essay on creativity and what it is opposed to describing it in its essence. So in the end, this seemingly- endless rant, whose purpose is to fill out this post to at least 400 words, could be considered creative in its own right.
To me, creativity is an expression of one’s self, and by understanding that, you’re able to understand the mindset of that person and get a sense of what they were thinking or feeling. “Everyone has a voice” is nothing more than a cliché that’s been overused so much that it’s pretty much synonymous with political gain and getting people to vote for the prick that’s slightly better than the other guy who was a bad track record. But in this sense, the term “voice” isn’t talking of sound from your diaphragm, but expression. And creativity is a voice that can express an idea more vividly than words ever can. Unlike words, which can be strait to the point, creative works of art can leave its audience with a range of interpretations and evoke emotions that simple words can’t. I don’t want to give you the idea that words itself can’t be used creatively, because they can. Simply putting words together to convey a thought isn’t art nor is it creative, but structuring them in such a way that it leaves a lasting impression on its audience is a sign of true creativity. The very intro to this post could be creative because it takes such an unorthodox approach in detaining the main idea for this post. That alone not only makes the approach to the main idea unique, but it can convey the feeling to the reader that I myself are creative…or a raving lunatic who talks in circles.
Not to be an egotistical maniac, but I consider myself a creative person, and others have told me such. I like to think that the work I do is a definition of some aspect of myself, and leave it for the people to decipher it’s meaning on its own, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. So in its entirety, I believe in creativity because it’s a voice that opens up the possibilities for people to express their beliefs and feelings beyond physically talking, because you can’t understand an idea or thought till you view it in a way leaves lasting impression on you and influences your perception.
