It's going... :(  — 1 year ago

I think…my passion is going away.

My family was very angry with me this week. It hurt. They called me selfish. And i know I’m an adult. I don’t have to let these things effect me in such a serious way. But…it does.

I was in my sculpture studio class Friday and….i couldn’t create anything. After 3 hours, my half-finished project sat there, looking at me, dejected. It was disappointed in me. I was disappointed in myself.

It’s dying and I’m sick of allowing what they’re saying have such a negative effect. How do i stop the negativity?

Go finish your project

Process the negativity and disappointment through the artwork.

It’s a perfect metaphor! Getting your hands, body, and spirit involved in creation of something new!!

Now, get up, and go be the artist you were meant to be!!!!

People are taught...

how to treat you. Examine yourself and figure out what can be constructive and what you don’t receive. Teflon has a good way of setting examples, and so should we. Whatever your shortcomings may be…we all have them….work to reclaim your passion. In our journey we have to learn to honor and respect others, by also honoring and respecting ourselves.

Here’s to reaching the best of you.

I do see the negative...

Its me. I have a tendency to be childish. and confusing.

I just want them to be happy. If i take myself out of the equation, i know they’ll be happier. Me and my stupid odd projects and obsessions…

Please don't....

Take yourself out of the equation. My greatest hope – you find a way to be happy in the equation, and to create something that works in that regard. Isolation although often desired, can sometimes just expand the problem.

You’ll be fine – the journey although rough, can lead to much better places. Here’s to your happiness.
