I feel more like the person I was late teens/early 20's, before "life wore me down".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019056089061468061.post-56977828333415937792010-08-19T10:27:33.901-07:002010-08-19T10:27:33.901-07:00Thanks for the link Eveline!

This is what mine said, and it was...Too cool, Eve! This is what mine said, and it was right on for me, too! So true it was almost freaky. LOL<br /><br />You think of art as a means of reaching out to others but, at the same time, you use it as a shield to some extent. It’s a way of participating in society, in a community. It’s the way you communicate with others and the way they can communicate with you. Seen in this light, creativity provides the basic materials to build a bridge between you and other people, so you can’t think of it as something that lies outside your relationship with others. You like the attention and good opinion of others. When you show people what you’ve made — a birthday cake, or a piece of music you’ve written — it’s your baby, so you are very sensitive about any criticism. You need to be able to distance yourself from the result, and allow others to enjoy it and feel part of it, without it reflecting on you alone. Your creativity allows you (or would allow you) to feel part of the world. You’ve got an inner exhibitionist and you think that this strengthens your relationships. What you really want is for others to see the good in you. You prefer to get on the stage than stay in the wings analysing your inner life (although you do that, too). So let the show begin, but make sure your life doesn’t depend on the applause.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289906920836700435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019056089061468061.post-67871268914152212202010-08-18T14:13:32.508-07:002010-08-18T14:13:32.508-07:00Awesome. This is exactly it:
"Creativity giv...Awesome. This is exactly it:<br /><br />"Creativity gives you insight<br />You feel that creativity provides insight into your own being. In fact, it is like therapy for you, enabling you to get to know yourself better. You seem to be looking for a way into the mysteries of the subconscious. It’s not really self-expression you are seeking, but rather the tools of self-expression: discovering what your creation will reveal about yourself. Art helps you reflect on, analyse and expand your personality. You long to be creative, and it’s not just because you need to deal with your emotions. It’s the tension between contradictions, and the need to resolve doubt that drives you to be creative. Painting pictures, decorating rooms, arranging shells in the sand — these are all creative processes that allow your introspection to roam. You can trace your life through the different ways you have exercised your creativity. For you, art is there to make sense of life. You are more attracted to artistic activities that demand reflection, planning and solitude, and the personal discoveries you make often provide answers for others, too. • To find out about how to tap into your creative side, see our feature in the August issue out now."Nolwennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032355397903971001noreply@blogger.com
