Thanks for stopping by.
I definite...Hi Alexander! Thanks for stopping by. <br /><br />I definitely think the pressure to conform to societal expectations made me lose myself a little bit. <br /><br />I've never heard of Sir Ken Robinson, but I will Google him. Haha. Thanks for the recommendation. <br /><br />And I definitely agree that we should stop living by all of these nonexistent rules and spend more time nurturing our authenticity. Thanks for the reminder. :-)<br /><br /><3 MadisonMadison Sonnier https://www.blogger.com/profile/17689138122547284808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082159757107106731.post-40496283509456050152012-04-20T04:21:27.808-05:002012-04-20T04:21:27.808-05:00Hi Madison, came across your blog after reading yo...Hi Madison, came across your blog after reading your post on Tiny Buddha..<br /><br />Your spark isn't gone. It's just the school system, the pressure of conforming and all the other things that come with growing up and being an adult in western society have taught you to be a certain way and haven't given you the praise or time to be creative like when you were young.<br /><br />Have you read Sir Ken Robinsons work? I recommend that. I also recommend reading about mind maps as a way of opening up your creativity again.<br /><br />Hmm I think it was Freud who bought some childhood toys when he was old as he was fascinated with capturing his youthful imagination and creativity.<br /><br />It's all still inside us, we just need to stop living by the rules and nurture our natural imagination and you will get it back :)Alexander Roanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310557557644164000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082159757107106731.post-34911277560290092292012-04-10T10:44:36.291-05:002012-04-10T10:44:36.291-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Priya Balanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15242528526829304116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082159757107106731.post-30903504630897358592012-04-03T18:20:11.171-05:002012-04-03T18:20:11.171-05:00"I don't even know the person who is star..."I don't even know the person who is staring back at me in the mirror."<br /><br />YES. I feel that way all the time. Sometimes I'll look at myself and think, "where did I GO?" <br /><br />It's sad to feel like I lost such a powerful spark, but I know it's still in there. It just doesn't seem to burn as brightly these days.<br /><br />And I hope you find your spark again too! If we felt it once, we can feel it again. :-)<br /><br /><3 MadisonMadison Sonnier https://www.blogger.com/profile/17689138122547284808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082159757107106731.post-64816620320740349422012-04-03T18:02:04.914-05:002012-04-03T18:02:04.914-05:00I can SO relate to this post.

She just needs some coaxing. You will find your spark. Stay strong! :) DarciDarcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471599890639253653noreply@blogger.com
