Are You a Consumer Or a Creator?

BTY

Have you ever thought back to when you were younger, and how creative we once were? The world around you no longer encourages you to be creative, but rather encourages you to keep consuming, and keep buying. We are being made into the perfect consumer. The fact is, you cannot be at your creative best, when you are too busy consuming content for hours a day. We are always filling up every empty second with dopamine supplied from social media like instagram, tiktok, twitter, youtube, and netflix. There is nothing wrong with occasionally enjoying watching some content, but the issue comes when we are unable to be bored, and simply have to keep consuming. This is a topic that I have become quite passionate about when I realized how constantly consuming makes one unable to create. When you allow yourself to be bored is when you come up with new ideas and are able to create art, music, drama, content and stories. We need to stop consuming in such massive quantities and start to consume more meaningful art. This way we will enable our creativity to shine once again.
