BLOCK

I see myself as creative in a lot of ways; I’ve been playing music for most of my life, I draw, I love to bring different influences together when I create posters and marketing for bands or for a friend’s business, and I’m really good at problem solving. However, I feel that all of these are only possible if I keep moving and collaborating, because if I see myself trying to work completely alone, my drive stalls and becomes stagnant. 

I used to also feel that my inner thoughts and anxiety had a hold on my creativity; I was more occupied with thinking everyone hated my work, and I think that was brought on by trauma from past experiences in school. I know now that my second time around, it’s all different for the better with teachers and classmates who want to help me succeed.
