Who I am: well, wait...
“I’m an advocate of ‘it’s not what you are, it’s who you are.’”
I love Sia. I think I've written about her before (probably in November - who knows really). I haven't really listened to her much lately, mostly because I've been jamming out to rock music to get me motivated (and occasionally The Postal Service – yaaassss). But I find Sia to be an interesting woman. She's very open about what she's been through and her depression and how it has influenced her writing and how she wants to go out in public. I don't know. I find her creative mind to be so damn interesting.
I feel like she thinks and talks all at once and it's perceived a rambling out loud, but it's beautiful. There's a lot of beauty in who she is and I love it. I don't want to be like Sia, but to be free and accepting of who you are is magnificent. Cause who does that? Who's like that? Maybe we'll say "I love me for me," but do we ever really? I love myself, but I know there will always be things about that I don't love or that annoy me to death, but I am choosing to make the best of it (most days).
"It's not what you are, it's who you are." Who are you? Are you someone who's creative but a hot mess? But does that define you? Are you defined as insecure? I feel like being an advocate of that type of thinking will drive you crazy, but maybe that's the point. I am an artist, but it's not who I am. I am someone who has a passion for art, but I also have other things I go to feel joyful in. Who I am is complex and I'll never be able to clearly define it. It's something that will unfold over time and anyone who sticks around to witness that is awesome, cause it's stressful sometimes! We're all complex, maybe that's it.
Anyways. I want to write in this blog more. Once a week and update my other pages with photos, drawings, and new designs. I'm a busy person, but that doesn't mean I should neglect this other part of me who loves to pour out what's on my heart. So here: here's some of my heart. I'm laying out there. Be careful. But explore it!
