Creativity

Before this week, I think that I have been confusing (in my mind) creativity with talent. I think instead of not being creative, I'm not talented in the things that I consider the epitome of creativity (music,art, poetry, etc.). Besides that sidenote, in terms of intelligence, I would classify myself as having interpersonal intelligence (understanding and being responsive to others desires, temperments, and moods). Which may explain why I have been a tutor, mentor, and babysitter. All of those jobs need someone who is going to be understanding to their moods, and temperments and the ability be of help to them.

I think that creativity as therapy is an idea that I have been familiar with throughout my life. My younger sister seems to think the world is out to get her and she draws, sings, writes to alliveate her "issues". She is so much more pleasent to deal with after she gets some of that emotion out. Also, I dated a guitar player (who wrote the songs for his band) and everytime we got in a fight, there would be a song about it the next day, but he wouldn't be mad anymore so it didn't bother me that there are about 50 songs about us/me.
