CREATIVE OUTLETS


So i have a friend who is super creative and passionate and designs and makes the most awesome "rustic and organic" jewelry, mostly custom made charms but necklaces and rings to. And that is her "thing", her unique creative outlet, and whenever i talk to her about her designs, or to anyone else about their "thing" i experience a deep longing for my own personal "thing". Why such pining? Do i want something unique to help define myself by? Something to feel good about? Some outlet to let the juices flow through that i just know are there protesting to be set free?

Prerequisites: i have to enjoy it, duh
dont have to be great at it but have to have some level of success, just enough to make it enjoyable
if i can make/create something thats a bonus
have to be able to fit it in with 2 kids

Things ive considered taking under my wing and making them personally mine,
excercising - this was my thing once upon time before kids
crocheting
mosaics
water color/acrylics, painting in gen
blogging
poetry
digital photography

Hmmmm...need to contemplate and figure out what i want to invest my time in to expand who i am.

Whats your thing and how did you discover find it??
