I think people without a body exist through their things, I also think looking through people's things can help you learn more about them from their side rather than the receiving end we are all on. Whenever I will ever see anyone's possessions the reason they own it will always be tainted by me, whether they know it or not, and they will never see what I see, and I will never know the difference. When my mom passed I wanted everything of her gone. Of course, I already know my mom, I didn't need her things lying around the house or the garage as a pseudo memorial. I don't want her phone, I don't want her bike, I don't want her art supplies, I don't want her clothes. About a year later and now I do want those things. I have her sketchbooks, camera, clothes, and some other stuff, but they're not a sad reminder, I get to meet my mom again through her things. And I wish I kept her bike.

Creativity is not a special talent I was born with, or a wave, or something I utilize at the moment I need it, it is the amalgamation of every experience I have had, and how I am able to share it with other people. Creative expression can make individual experiences relatable to anyone.
