Creativity will wake up in the middle of the night to write down an idea. He buys things he will probably never use again. Creativity is short in stature and has fluffy blonde hair with blue tips, but don’t count on it being the same color the next time you meet. Creativity is never on time. He comes and goes on no schedule and interrupts people while they speak.

          He wears clothes that don’t quite match, basketball shorts, loose hooded tank tops, and clips in his hair. He plasters his arms with watches and bracelets. Creativity likes to go on long walks to come up with ideas. He travels with pencil and paper in his pocket to write down any ideas that come to him.

          Creativity is best friends with Encouragement. She reminds him of his good ideas and responds with “great job” or “that was awesome” which keeps him going. It may come as a shock to you, but Creativity is good friends with Criticism. He gives him feedback, good or bad, and helps him revise his ideas to improve them. His voice can be annoying at times, but when he’s not yelling in your ear, it is soothing and reassuring.

          To be friends with Creativity, you must understand Creativity. You must hear him in good and bad, and know when to accept or reject his ideas, and when you can do that, he will be your best friend.
