self-expression

What does it mean to be creative? What makes something a creative endeavor? Is everything a creative endeavor?

Looking from the outside in, one may not see past the dramatic eye makeup, chunky choker and all black attire to the person underneath.

I never knew what the phrase “accessories can make or break an outfit” meant until I got my ears pierced. Having multiple piercings and therefore a large jewelry collection allows me to express my likes, interests and personality type. Ear piercings are a subtle form of self expression.

In my mind, I had been and would always be the world’s best chameleon: I knew what people expected of me, and that’s exactly what I showed them.
