The world believes that a person's skills are divided into two parts - intellect and creativity. More importantly, the world believes that the two cannot coexist in an individual's life. It is taught to us at a very young age that we have to choose one of them, preferably intellect, and lock away a part of ourselves and suffocate it till the time we don't feel its presence anymore. what these people fail to understand is that intelligence without creativity is soulless and creativity without intelligence is futile. As Albert Einstein put it "Creativity is intelligence having fun."

Academically, we always try to be amongst the top 5 students in our classes and to take part in numerous extracurriculars in school – We try our hand at fine arts, craft work, dance, music, and a bit of theatre but what most of us fail to acknowledge is that knowledge and imagination are magnificent separated but they do magic when they are put together. The scales of imagination and knowledge may dwindle according to the situations life throws at us but overall, they should balance in the end. Challenging oneself intellectually as well as pushing one’s creative boundaries make a masterpiece out of my life and that’s what we should all aim to do, balance our scales to make a masterpiece.

It is essential for one to be their own person and walk the line between what society thinks and approves of and what one wishes to become and, in the end, see the world through their own unique glasses.

Everyone wishes to share their experience and put their glasses on to the world. Yes, in the long run, it might even make an impact, but the first priority for each person is to express themselves as best as they can with a little hope to impress.

Life is about the little things that can cause a chain of events like the butterfly effect. Don’t we all love it when something like that happens in our books and movies, maybe we should appreciate such things in our lives as well.

In the long run, nobody knows where they will be but maybe that's okay, we don’t need to figure out our whole life right now. Maybe, we just enjoy and live every moment of our lives and show the world who we are, as we are.
