Maybe it will turn out to be awesome, or maybe it won’t. Either way it doesn’t matter because it’s not really about what you create, but who you become along the way.<\/p>\n
When you create something, you’re telling others it’s okay for them to create as well.<\/p>\n
You are showing your family, your kids, and your society that creativity\u00a0is important.<\/p>\n
It’s not enough for us to simply stumble through life and survive — we need more.<\/p>\n
We need art, music, and books. We need something besides money to get us out of bed and do the work we were meant to do.<\/p>\n
Maybe writing, painting, and playing music is not about making a living — but more about making a life worth living. Maybe we should just create because we can.<\/p>\n

\nJust create to create. Create to remind yourself you\u2019re still alive.
\nMake stuff to inspire others to make something too.
\nCreate to learn a bit more about yourself.\u201d<\/em>
