Creativity

To be human is to be creative. Don’t think so? And why is that? Do you think that coloring inside the lines isn’t creative? Do you think moving your body around in strange ways isn't creative? Do you think that even crumpling up a piece of paper isn’t creative? All these things are unique and fun and special to you and are new to everyone around you even if they say the opposite. Creating is a part of what makes humans, human. Take, for example, a perfect sphere. What would you do with it? Give it a thought for simply a few seconds. What you just thought to do with it was creative. The human brain is built around being, doing, and creating new things. So how to be more creative? Be more human, be more yourself, and be a part of the world. Go to museums, take a stroll along a lake shore, go skydiving, and most importantly think, and feel, and experience, that is the true key to creativity. 

Community

Involvement in your community is a topic that many KNN subscribers are familiar with, so why talk about it? Across AVID, , and Shes the First, involvement with your peers is a common sight in our circle. Why even mention the benefits? You already hear them each day across your life. Your community is a part of many of you so much that it needs no explanation on all sides of the argument, except one. You are in the community, who is helping you? Being selfless is great, and being friendly is amazing, but “Who is really under this mask gang?” - Quote from Fred Jones. Take a moment and let the community service, serve you. Just because you are privileged, just because you should be the one in that position, doesn’t mean you don't need time for yourself. Take a break for once in your life and breathe the fresh air of nothing going on. Take a nice sip of your favorite drink, take a bite of your favorite treat, and do nothing. The community is always as strong as its weakest link, so go break the chainmail that is society and take care of yourself.
