Creative exhaustion??

Just the other day Me a friend of mine were discussing about "writers block" and she was telling me how her creative mind seemed to have stopped working. When i told her to stop getting so over worked and pressurising herself to write like before just as how i went through the same phase when i could no longer write poetry. Presuming that giving her the example of Kurt Cobain who wrote that his decision of giving up on his life was brought about by depression caused due to alleged creative exhaustion would stop her from being negative, I told her but in vain. I was instead startled when she immediately stated that it was a good reason to kill oneself. She refused to see life otherwise, life without creativity, without which life was a void was her strong opinion.

Since then I have been doing serious thinking about it because till now I've really never thought of having creative mind was a criteria for survival.What makes it so vital for our existence? Agreed that in this "competitive world" (I'm personally tired of that world...sorry word) its important to always have fresh ideas and concepts to put forth and grow in our materialistic pursuits.

From the time I've started attending my Journalism and Literature Lectures I feel my creativity pressurised.I do appreciate that I've stopped being forced to see human beings as masses of flesh and bones which are made of small particles cells which in turn are made of smaller particles and it goes on and on and on.Although psychology isn't as bad as other scientific subjects, it makes me feel like a piece of brain that stores and manages our lives and our choices, along with some chemicals called hormones which control our emotions just by their chemical reactions. So science is orderly placement of logical facts and arts is the disorder of natural human mind that no one can escape from. So if all of us start thinking or rather shall i use the word calculating like scientists then its all "order" then why do we need these "artists" who bring in disorder with creativity. And on top pf it dump them when they are creatively exhausted.

Yes the simple truth is we all need creativity.We all crave for change and wait for variety in life and in the world we wake up to and interact with till we sleep. We are all creative but only our world suppresses it from the childhood calling it "silly" or "irrelevant". Of course life is worth more twisting facts and coining new perspectives!! Or are we just scared that we are incapable.

Creativity is something larger than life and it is definitely not exhaustible.We don't "have to" be creative we are all different on our own and that my friends is individualism which in turn i believe is nothing but creativity. It is a rare coincidence to find two individuals with same perception and interpretation of anything that itself proves how we are all unique. A person can be rightly defined as nothing but mere collection of thoughts, experiences, emotions, ideas, views and opinions. And the interaction of all of the above is what makes us individualistic and takes it to the next level-creativity. Creativity is as simple as being ourselves. And the grandeur of creativity shines when we vent out our true expressions piercing the suppression of individualism by the world around us. It only becomes gaudy when faked, when we are forced to think creatively.

So the whole point is why are people getting so worked up about being creative, about thinking out-of-the-box when all we need to do us just be ourselves and express our true minds.In this immense, immeasurable bowl called mind the more you take out the more it produces and suppression just kills its quality of reiteriation. There is no such thing as creative exhaustion and so lets stop giving it as an excuse and lets start working on chaos that comes through human mind!
