Am I a parrot?

'Originality' is something I lack in my life. Sometimes I feel like I am merely reciting or copying the ideas of other people when presenting a view. Most notably is during bible studies. Is this part of maturing? I don't think so. By reciting or copying, I have failed to truly connect to the point of a having a view. I guess this is where my solitude and drawing comes into the picture...

By drawing and reflecting during quiet times, helps me to still my mind. My mind is like a pool of water. If it is constantly disrupted with things thrown into it, ripples will send my mind into chaos and confusion, causing me to feel down and confused. For those who can't understand the metaphor: if I constantly put myself in situations where I have verbal contact with people, using my brain non-stop, I will eventually shut down. I will start treating this reality as though it is surreal.

That is why I like to have moments where I am alone. My favourite activity is to look at the sky. Staring at the deepness of space that is above me. It is therapeutic. Don't judge me! Haha
