Thursday Blues - Entry 2 


I recognized all the shades of blue that seemed to overlap
during my Thursday morning stop to 7-Eleven. 

Only thing missing is a blue sky to match.

Stage Manager Era - Entry 48

Image
Suzy Dotson Stage Manager Era - Entry 48 The only reason I still have Snapchat is for the Memories that pop up and remind me of times like this. In high school, I was a stage manager in the theatre program for all 4 years. One of the pictures that came up was my props and set-up schedule. Although I wasn't a creative up on the stage, it took a lot of creative thinking to handle and organize the chaos that was backstage.

Being Alone - Entry 30

Suzy Dotson Being Alone - Entry 30 During my three years here at SMU, I have learned that so many people are scared of being alone.

It feels like TikTok has just become a game of who can copy an idea the best instead of forming and executing original ideas.  Have trends made us less creative? If we are only copying other people, is there space to form new ideas? What happened to creators promoting original content? Now it's just all about "nostalgia" A.K.A. taking the original ideas of the 90s and 2000s.  On the opposite scope, maybe trends DO make us more creative. If we take a base idea, for example, a new trendy outfit idea, and constantly add new things, we are creating an entire new idea. Trying to adjust,  take away, and add new ideas to a base idea is connecting. Connecting one idea to one idea. Connecting is creativity.  Maybe trends are making us less creative, maybe they are making us very creatively. Either way, ...
