Ideas. Spontaneous pieces of thoughts. Born abruptly, divine making. They say some people are born with the gift of the ideas. Creativity. But if creativity is the ability to came up with this little pieces of thoughts spontaneously, what about the other kind of ideas?
The ones that are born by product of outer interactions, other ideas even. Those ideas tent to grow faster and stronger in some people minds than the random ones. Not everyone is born with the gift of creativity yet we all have curiosity, that is one characteristic inherent in humans. I find myself often revolved around this ideas, shaping them of and making them my own, not that I don’t have ideas of my own, but since those spontaneous come at undetermined spaces of time and without advice, I like to keep my mind working in my surroundings. Anyways, I strongly believe in the idea of the inceptions.
I’m a very thoughtful person, which I consider a gift as much as a weak spot, but that’s how I am and have learn to take advantage of it as well as how to control the overthinking, and I found myself more than once looking for the origin of my ideas, every time certain idea takes me to major actions, I look for it, and I’ve come to the conclusion that not all were originated in me but built around other’s. My repulsion for mediocrity born from an advice, my seek for excellence born from a discussion, the way my mind changes sometimes, etc.
I find this process fascinating, even more when I got the chance to find it out, to see how someone’s idea originated some other in me. How our own brains takes everything that is at its reach and fools us to think it was authentic. How sometimes a simple phrase of an overheard conversation or a quote from a movie, even the verse of a poem pierces to the deep of our subconsciousness and sows one simple moment of thought and stays there, getting bigger as time passes, and one day, you don’t know, you can’t see, but your mind changed and you are different, yet true.
