On creativity and playfulness
I saw some words in an audio recording on Instagram that really struck me, so I thought I'd record them.
The phrase that especially stuck in my mind was,
The essence of playfulness is an openness to whatever happens.
If you're afraid of going in the wrong direction, you can't have fun.
That's it.
The more you know and the more skills you acquire,
I feel like my way of thinking is becoming more narrow-minded every year.
These words struck a chord with me.
When doing creative activities
Are you able to maintain your sense of fun even after many years, and enjoy unlimited expression?
These are the questions I want to ask myself in order to continue creating.
One of my dreams is to be able to continue enjoying creative activities wholeheartedly even after I become a grandmother.
To achieve this, I wanted to cherish the sense of playfulness, openness, and freedom of expression.
And I would be happiest if I could have a warm exchange with the people I meet through this creative activity.
I wonder if the process of doing this activity is what gives me meaning in life and the time I spend doing it is what I call happiness.
When I was creating something, I realized that I was placing too much importance on the final result.
I wanted to be the person who can find the important things in the process and pick up even the small things🕊️
