    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Well, the most creative person which I like as of today is James Hype. He is a UK based DJ and he is one of my favourite DJ. As I am also a working DJ, I am also a professional DJ working from the last 20 years, I really admire his skills and the way he has presented himself and has gone from being a simple bedroom DJ to a world class main production DJ and having shows all over the world, travelling all over the different clubs, playing in the best of festivals, music festivals, EDM festivals. What I love about his creativity is how he tried to remix some old classic 80s, 70s tracks with his signature 4x4 tech house rhythms. What he does is take those samples from some old rock and pop songs and then break it down into a proper tech house track. The BPM of the track is like 120-130 BPM and since I also produce and remix the same tracks, similar type of tracks, so I like the work of James Hype and he really inspires me and I get some great ideas from his work. Also the part of DJing, his part of DJing is also cool. In his live show, he really utilizes the capabilities of the Pioneer CDJ 2000 player in which he conducts some amazing moves, live moves which are really helpful. The main effect he uses is reverb and echo while playing live which adds a great element while going from transitioning from one song to another. So overall yes, he is the best creative person which I like currently and always.

    I would like to talk about my friend Jasmine who I considered to be an incredibly creative person. I first met her a year ago at university where we worked together on several group projects. Right from the start I was impressed by her innovative ideas and unique approach to problem-solving. She's a graphic designer and what makes her practically creative is her ability to transform ordinary concepts into visually stunning designs. For example in one of our university project she designed a logo that perfectly captured the essence of the brand even though the initial idea was very basic but not only is she skilled the design software but her imagination also seems to have no limits. She can easily think outside the box and come up with a solution that others wouldn't even consider. I think what sets her apart from other creative individual is her passion for experimenting. She is always trying new techniques whether it's combining different design style or exploring new mediums. Moreover she draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources art, nature, even everyday life which keeps her ideas fresh and exciting. In addition Sara often encourages others to think creatively which has a positive impact on the whole team.

    So, the most I believe that creativity can be expressed in many ways, it can be in the form of art, in the form of dance or also just expressing yourself. And the person that I believe in my life is very creative is my own dance teacher, I met her through a neighbor of ours and the neighbor just introduced me, we were talking one day, I expressed my enthusiasm to learn dance and they forwarded me this lady's number, I contacted her, reached out to her and she just asked me to come over to her place. The first interaction with her left a deep impression on me, I was completely enamored by the way she carried herself gracefully, and therefore I decided to join her classes.
