When I was twelve I knew I wanted to be this:
As time has moved on, I still am, and do desire to continue to be, an artist. The level and notice that comes my way always changes. Absolutely fine with me. I am an artist creating daily with words, with ideas with love, and with my life.
Many years ago I allowed the Matrix (corporations, people, religion, and more) to convince me that I was not an artist or someone wired with a lot of imagination and creativity. It whispered ever so softly that I needed put the "art" away and remember the importance of security. It almost worked, but I wanted and got my life back. I write the following with great emphasis:
Get your life back! Whatever you must do, get your life back.
Now, here are the lessons I've learned in this motion picture:
- Go slow and start small. One more time, go slow and start small.
- Most people are not going to like you beyond the surface. Your life is not about the surface, so get on with it.
- Ask for help.
- Know what's most important to you, not to anyone else, as be commited to those things.
- You can't make people happy or ok, even those you love deeply.
