The Desire Vs the Duty: choosing wisely?
There’s a constant tug-of-war between the quiet joy of creating and the loud demands of survival. Never would I have ever imagined how powerful the tension between those two would be. Thing is I want to chase my dreams, but I also need to pay rent! Being a creative soul and a responsible do-right, law-abiding citizen don’t go hand in hand, my friends. I mean, how can that even work when you’re just a DIY indie creator who can’t afford all the emotional and financial demands society has set forth for you? What I want to do?

I Think I’m Ready
I think I’m ready to live my life the way I wanted. I think I’m ready to live my life and not look back. I think I’m ready to see more than white and black; to fly a little, to wake up late no voices saying to face the day. Sit in complete silence from dawn to dawn, stay up ’til inspiration is gone.

I miss sometimes the days I could write, when I borrowed verses from the night; the same old nights that made me ill, but things seemed always a bit more chill. Tranquil…

Deal with Injustice Humanely
It would be easy to become a victim of our circumstances and continue feeling sad, scared or angry; or instead, we could choose to deal with injustice humanely and break the chains of negative thoughts and energies, and not let ourselves sink into it. ― Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary
