My creativity makes up who I am so being creative has a lot to do with how I decide most of

my life decisions. Because I have a solid creative personality trait my mind is constantly

throwing numerous ideas. I have big dreams that often will have me lost in my head I always

think about my life in the future and the legacy I want to create. While being creative has many

pros it also comes with cons as I am an overthinker this causes anxiety. Without my creativity, I

don't know what type of person I would be because I depend on it so much.

My imagination comes with my creativity as a child I never needed toys to play with and

would spend hours imagining different scenarios in my head rather if was with sports or me

being a ninja fighting for my life. Growing up I went to an after-school program that offered

various activities during science class we would create contraptions to compete with each other

in various games I would constantly win. I have created many life hacks that just came quickly to

my head that others would never think about. In class, I have a hard time focusing because I am

frequently thinking about multiple topics I always am looking forward to something in the

future. In order to live up to my full potential I know if you don't plan you are planning to fail

my creativity helps with this because I think about the life I want to create for myself I can see it

vividly in my head. The feeling trapped in my own mind caused by overthinking is a con with

creativity as not all my creative thoughts are positive. I always think about the good and bad in

every situation sometimes the bad outweighs the good and can cause a burden on my mind.
