Pablo Picasso said we were all born artists. I personally believe we're all naturally creative. We actually exercise creativity in the most mundane things that we do. However, most of us probably long to be more artistic (at least, those of us who are non-artists) in one way or another. Is there a creative activity that you participate in? Do you write, craft, sing, dance...? Is there a skill you want to learn and acquire? How do you infuse the spirit of creativity into your days? How do you inspire yourself to express yourself artistically? (I list my methods here: http://www.bukisa.com/articles/235712_ten-tips-to-tap-into-the-artist-within) I've been doing a lot of crafting since becoming a mom. I've learned to knit, crochet, sew, etc. Before that I wrote, painted, and scrapbooked. Now, I want to get into carpentry and whittling. I also want to learn to play the guitar (I know about a dozen intros - I can't finish a song) and relearn to play the piano. How about you? Share your creative plights. :)

I used to play the guitar up until my college days, but that was just basic strumming. I also sing, but not like in competitions or whatever. I think right now, I want to further hone my skills in writing and relearn playing the guitar (once I get my own instrument, haha). I also want to do some graphic arts.

That sounds fascinating. I know several people who are really into manga and most of them are actual artists by profession. Thanks for sharing. :)
