Creativity is a Kind of  Hopefulness

I keep getting caught on the same nagging thought - everything I want to do has been done before. TED Talk about poetry in schools? Done. TED Talk about positive self expression? Done. TED Talk on creativity? Done and done and done. 

This same thought creeps up a lot when writing I’m writing poems. Its hard to feel that things are original. But I came to the realization today that part of the creative process is a kind of hope. A hope that, even though a topic might have been covered already, there is still more to be discovered. That there are still stones left to be unturned. And so I came up with this. Its currently on my desk, perking me up when I get a bit discouraged.
