Only in the sudden spark of inspiration was I able to create this piece. Perhaps this inspiration burst from the experiences at my school’s lion dance club, organized by the LionDanceME organization. I would not have known the feeling of adrenaline if it were not for this club. Despite my fear of heights, the courageous acrobatics were thrilling to me; I can never forget the rushing feeling of that moment. It was wild. Such a powerful feeling that I still felt the rush for days. It urged me to capture its flow. So I did. It was the first time I could relay my emotions through writing. I seeped the feeling into each of the words and let them craft the story themselves. Inspiration-struck, it felt more like recalling a memory rather than writing a fictional creation. I almost believed I had lived through the moment in the story. Knowing exactly how it would flow and all the small details came to me instantly. And it truly amazed me, how powerful a work of writing can be, to have the ability to relay such emotions to another individual.

To me, creativity is the ability to create something original, by inspiration and by your own ideas. It is to incorporate your emotions and express them to others in a beautiful way. The ideas that lead to the creation of a masterpiece.
