more and more i begin to realize how much support i have around me. more and more this inspires me by allowing me to be myself and grow comfortably with myself as well. one of the closets people to me gave the best advice as my branches begin to break and form new paths of extension.
*here's the e-mail below
i said;i want to find that same poet i was before when i lived my life as art and not a metaphoric competition.
she said;Yo its crazy that you're going through this thing that I think I went through when I was in college. AKA- you're wayyy ahead of your time. Which is actually perfectly on time.

What's that thing that dorie says to nemo? Just. Keep. Swimming.
You'll find your way. You're an artist, and you're going through your "process". Every step of which, is extremely important. But you can't skip any stages, cause then you wont ever truly grow.

When something feels dead to you, it's time to change it. Follow what makes you feel good, inspired, excited, happy. You could do anything you want. Maybe you need to start doing poetry while spinning fire. or maybe you've exceeded what poetry and words has to offer and next you want to dance or make music. Or maybe you just gotta do more listening than talking for a while so that when you come back to the game, you can have something truly new to offer. Poetry will always be there, but more importantly, YOU will always be a POET.
Energy and inspiration comes and goes, but always flows in different directions.... face whatever direction the wind is pushing you in!!
bet u didn't think i was gonna go in like that, did you SUCKA. Haha. I'm always here though, you know that.

Peace
i hope that this has inspired many of you as it has me <3
