Quote by C. JoyBell C.

“People are creators. But I doubt that many realize this. We are not meant to go out into the world and find flawless things, we are not meant to sit down and have flawless things fall into our laps. But we are creators. We can create a beautiful thing out of what we have. The problem with idealistic people is that they see themselves as receivers instead of creators, they end up hunting for the flaw in everything in order to measure it up to their ideals. Now, when you see yourself as a creator, you can look at a chunk of marble and see the angel within it. Then you carve until you have set that angel free.”

In this gesture, there is hope – not certainty – that perhaps others may come to share her vision, without any guarantee that she will be understood. To write is to risk rejection and misunderstanding. To create a work of art, Sartre writes, is to give the world a gift nobody has asked for. But if we don't dare to share with others what we see, the world will be poorer for it.”

“Many people have missed out on fun, pleasure, and truly enjoying their lives in the pursuit of being seen as 'good' or 'innocent.' Now, they live with regret, trying to make up for the experiences they feel they lost. They sacrificed so much just to maintain an image of goodness or innocence, only to realize it wasn’t worth it. In the process, they lost things that truly mattered most in life. Which is time.”
