self-portraits i've been missing
my friends
lately i've been feeling so trapped, like a bird caught in a cage, my free, wild spirit can't live properly as it pleases and I get frustrated. sometimes i feel as though i haven't been doing things for myself but rather, for others. it has been quite a challenge to discern what it is that i really want to do from what others want me to do. also, i wonder about some people i come across, i wonder if they've forgotten what it is like to be young? to feel so deeply and passionately, whether for a person or a place or just something they like to do, for the most fleeting moment or for months or years. i'd never really like to forget this youth vitality.
i promised myself that i will do what i love and love what i do and create a path of my own. i want to live for myself and i want live to be different. i realize it won't be easy - nothing is ever
really easy
anymore but i will feel
alive. to feel alive is what i want more than anything in life because i will be happy.

"I believe there is no part of our lives, our adult as well as child life, when we're not fantasizing, but we prefer to relegate fantasy to children, as though it were some tomfoolery only fit for the immature minds of the young. Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do."
-Maurice Sendak (1928-2012)

"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might has well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default."
-J. K. Rowling
