Flaum's story is about a wolf pack that after leaving captivity did not know who to survive because they had forgotten their ability to howl. Then Mumon decides that he will step up and try to find his howl in order to lead his pack and by overcoming certain challenges he was able to find his howl again which led others in his pack to find theirs. The main point of the story was even after people may try to constrain you, you could always find your creativity and share and spread it with others.
A creative piece that speaks to me is the song “Even if it Breaks Your Heart” by Eli Young Band. It talks about never letting the rough roads in life keep you from pursuing your dreams and being creative. A particular lyric in it that speaks to me is “Some dreams stay with you forever, drag you around but bring you back to where you were. Some dreams keep on gettin better, gotta keep believin if you wanna know for sure.” This part in particular speaks to me because in the media field you can have these dreams and creative ideas that can take you in many different directions. But it also means to me that you don’t know let your dreams be manipulated by the outside world. Keep your dreams and creative ideas your own. Don’t let people make them into something they aren’t and steal your creativity away from you. It also means to me that you don’t limit your creativity because when you limit your creativity you don’t know the potential that one idea has to grow into something better. You just need to believe that your dream has potential and allow it to continue to grow so you can know for sure if that creative idea and dream could be achieved. If you hold yourself back and never charge after what your dreams are then where will you go in life? And if you allow others to conform your ideas into something mainstream in order to conform to societal standards of the norm, you are denying your creative process as well because in order to be creative you must be unique. Without that your creative process will continue to suffer through life.
