Creativity has no limits!

At some point my creativity tends to branch out to other areas of my life. Let's say makeup. When I was younger I rebelled against anything that represented a girly status. I wanted nothing to do with being girly or pretty. I just wanted to be me. I was a bit of a tom boy. I chose baggy shirts twice my size and loose jeans to cover my body. I was not too keen on how I looked. I didn't want the world to see me.

As the years went by, I realize there's nothing wrong with looking a little nice here and there. My mother would prefer me dressed to the nine, looking like a lady all the time. Her impression of her eldest is more of a quirky female hobo. I've slowly gotten better over the years. I learned I could change my look just by slapping some makeup on my face. So everyone once in awhile I will indulge and go to the nine of my face.
Sometimes I go against boring neutrals and go for a splash of color 1) I chose purple to make a contrast with my brown eyes OR 2) I go all the way and get creative during Halloween like this past one I went as a Day of the Dead woman and I continue to practice with makeup here and there like in 3) It's practice for this upcoming Halloween - I'm going as the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz.

I don't want to limit my creativity to any one form of art. I want to do all of it and explore every nook and cranny of this world - painting, drawing, sculptures, makeup, photography etc. And so should everyone else. You learn so much of yourself when you let your creative side out every once in a while. I take it everywhere I go and I wouldn't be the same girl without it.
