don't call it a comeback.

another year. time to post.

i fell off with my blogging for a while, not because i didn't want to, but because i never felt like i had anything worthy to put in this space. a good friend helped me realize i need to give myself more credit and just write (thanks fandango!)

last night I went to a poetry performance (shout out to Ceiba for a job well done) and was reminded how much i love to be in an environment full of ideas, words, and emotions. those are the places that inspire me and give me a kick in the butt to get create and never stop creating.

see folks, i like to think of myself as an artist, a filmmaker, a writer, an idealistic visionary. when i look at what i've done with my time and creativity- i'm disappointed. i need to look at every day and every opportunity as a defining moment in my pursuit. i'm in pursuit of what it is that sets me apart from the rest of the world- what defines me- what makes me me.

in the new year i want to be rid of distractions. if you're not helping me in my growth then you're just working against it. [no bueno] time to hold myself accountable. be disciplined, dedicated, and true. and of course i gotta write. write til my hands hurt and the words look like they're spelled wrong.

"if i break apart in front of you, i was really regaining my sanity"

~ quote from one of the many great poems last night.
