The Sparrow

This past weekend I went to see this play called The Sparrow.
It was awful but I had an incredible time.
Huh?
It had been a while since I had seen a play or even gone to the movie theater and I had forgotten the buzz I get by being immersed in such a creative environment. I was also lucky enough to spot one of the writers of the play sitting a few rows in front of me.
I watched him closely thinking “this guy must feel like a king right now, sitting there with his friends and watching what he wrote come to life. Lucky bastard.”
In order to be creative, you need to be in a creative state of mind, and that’s what the play put me in. It wasn’t a very entertaining story and the acting was spotty, but it didn’t matter: here was something he wrote and I was there watching it.
Creativity is a beautiful thing, no matter how much it sucks. Don’t forget to take advantage of every creative immersion you can—it doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad because it’ll be good for you.
