Sometimes I have revelations, and most of the time I fail to practice what I preach to myself. I missed out on being a happy 15 & 16 year old. Both years were stressful and I tried to make up for it by fitting in with everyone else because I thought that was how I would gain those years back.
Those times are over, however. It's all in the past and I refuse to dwell on it and constantly think of what I could have done to make the situation better. I got tired of trying to fit in because it was killing my creativity, so I had another revelation... and this time, I DID practice what I preached.
I want to be able to express myself through my art without being forced to through a career. Creativity, unfortunatley, can't just shoot out of your ass anytime, and at any place.
It needs to be treated tenderly, and given time to find its flow and purpose.
Go ahead, call me crazy. Say I'm on drugs.
I just know what I feel inside when I create, and now that I've gained both my artistic passion and my level of stable mentality back, It's brought me closer to my ideas and brought out so much hidden inspiration.
Now that I'm happy with myself, I can finally help others.
I believe art and music can be used to heal the mind, body, soul... and especially the heart.
I want to meet my goals and do what I always knew I could do in the first place. I just got lost and it took some time to find myself again.
I'm just happy that I did. <3
