Inquiry Questions

What is something you believe is important for others to know about? What is a question that you would like answered? What creative outlet did you have early on that you’d like to reclaim or understand better?

I think it is important for everyone to know about their culture and history. If there is one thing that everyone deserves to know about, it is definitely who they are and where they come from. To some people ‘who you are’ can mean different things, but to me it is something that comes from your family, history, ancestry, and culture. We get our looks, personalities, likes and dislikes, traditions, etc. all from our past. If we can all grow to understand and have knowledge of how we, as a person, became how we are today than we could learn how to create change. The importance of others to know about where they come from is outstanding and could ultimately create a huge change in our society.

There are many questions I would like answered and choosing one is not easy. If I did have to choose one it would be, ‘Why are things the way they are?’ However, this is an extremely broad question and is nearly impossible to answer. To get more in detail I’d like to know why there is hate in the world. I don’t know who created this world and no one else does either, but whoever is was or however it happened, why did they allow there to be hate? Why does it even have to be an emotion? With one question comes a hundred more.

When I was younger and had more time on my hands I had a creative outlet that came in the form of creating colleagues. I could put together pieces of work, whether it was paintings, pictures, words, etc., that looked amazing when all neatly proportioned and constructed. I would love to know if that meant something or if I kept going with it what it could have turned into.
