What makes us who we are?
What defines our creativity?
How differently do we all see the world?
These are often questions I ask myself over and over. There have been times I think I have found the answers to them but then I quickly change my mind. I am a simple person with anything but a simple mind. Half of the time I don’t know what direction I am going in but I always know where I plan on ending up.
About two years ago I made a crazy decision. I gave up a good job, my own place and a lot of friends to pack it all up and move back out to the west coast. I could do the same line of work out here and make a ton of money but it just isn’t what makes me happy. The gift of imagination that I was blessed with has caused me to pursue my goal in life, write and publish my work. Hey, I am no Anne Rice or J.K. Rowlings but I am talented and as long as I believe in myself no one can stop me.
I write what I feel and what I see. Sometimes it is dark other times it is light and happy but it is always straight from the soul. I have fallen to my knee’s sick with grief. I have had my heart torn from my chest. I have been so angry I could do unthinkable things, and I pour all of this into my art. I don’t just see the world…
…I feel it.
What do you see?
On a lighter note… I recently have been in touch with an old friend. He said to me “I haven’t changed much, I just grew up.” Dear Sir, I am glad you have not changed. I always admired you then for who you were, and I continue to admire you now. I am glad that you did not lose yourself and even more thankful you remembered your forgiving heart.
