A Necessary Expression

               It's already been said that writing, creating, and imagining are extremely useful ways to release stress and anxiety that needed to be hidden or kept inside in other circumstances. People design art because it's something they want to do. They savor the way it makes them feel and display the way it end up turning out. Maybe they don't share their accomplishment with the public eye but in a way a finished piece is shared with a part of the self that didn't partake in the creation. Writers re-read their stories with a different mindset than they do when they were writing it. It is almost as if a persona is adopted to analyze the work objectively, or to be able to enjoy it with the same abilities as a stranger.
                These skills are developed because one so frequently produces material. Why? Because again creating is an extremely useful way to relieve stress. Things bombard the common person everyday, making them think to make their way out of risky situations. It's hard. It's strenuous. Working is hard work. All people can say they share that opinion one way or another, but it's difficult to forget the stress with all this sharing. Sometimes to relax alone time is needed. Occasionally this mixture of stress and alone time can spark creativity. And this creativity can also relax a person. It's almost as if when imagining up some other story entirely, their own is forgotten. They are taken to a completely different world.
                    Traveling is a goal many people put on their list of things to do before they no longer can on this earth. And in a sense, when one paints a picture or writes a story they accomplish that goal to a small extent. They are no longer artists, or authors, but a piece of the the puzzle that they designed themselves. That is why people create. It allows them an outlet that comes with a special freedom of discovery. People create because it gives them the power to explore their own minds as if they were exploring the world.
