A Tell of Expression and Emotion of Creatives in an Embracive Vision
Creatives around the world strive to put their all into the creative industry making pathways for themselves and the people around them to conquer and divide. Power, Passion, and Pain are terms used to express the emotion creatives face through the industry. The power it takes to present yourself in a new way and to make your own life a reality is unimaginable. It takes so much more than what you can accomplish because you already are the accomplishment. You put all your passion into what gives you that power and eventually the road can get rocky. When you stand alone in a world full of change and no one seems to see you change, it can bring on pain. But as creatives working together to continue expressing what we go through and how we carry it on the outside, embraces what those feelings are and so we present to you Power. Passion. Pain.

Power is the most suffocated type of emotion because of how it pertains to your indivduality. How you stand tall, how you come short, how you make a name for yourself, how you present that, and how you can comeback from whatever breaks you are all places of power. But the real thing is showcasing that who you are is powerful. Just by saying the words you have spoke that into your life and become power…
