For the longest time I believed in super-heroes. I believed that there were these amazing people with masks who could fly and stop all the "bad guys". I would draw pictures and imagine what they looked like or even that I was one of them. This shows how much more creative children are than adults. As we get older we are smothered by social norms and the creative gap becomes smaller and smaller. Only certain things are considered beautiful or unique and only certain people's opinions matter. This is a harsh reality considering the fact that when you're young your mom tells you everything, blobs of paint included, is beautiful as long as you made it. I think it's a shame that people are snobs about creativity when literally anything someone makes is unique because it was their idea, only they could have made it. Yes, certain pieces of art are easier on the eye than others but who am I to tell someone what they have created isn't special. I think society today is missing it's imagination and that people need something to believe in.
