               Wow, okay so let me just throw this out there. It's probably been well over a good year since I've published a piece of writing. Not going into details, A lot of things in life had managed to complicate things for me as far as perusing my dreams and goals in this life. My dear close friends also know that I have been fighting off pretty sever depression and stress. So when I tell you how good it feels to actually post this piece of art, no matter the fact it's a cheesy limerick that any toddler can scribble together does not dwarf the magnitude of this emotion. Doubt had managed to settle in my mind casting some pretty scary thoughts into the future of my life, my writing career and a few other artistic branches I've been looking into. While every hero has their villain. I would have to say for any artist their true villain becomes their very own doubt. Nothing will destroy your dream, and skills faster then doubting your own ability, doubting your own self.

 I often forget this, since I know my "amateurish" style of writing is "mention" worthy at best. I lower the bar for myself, all while surrounded by those who also lower the bar making it hard to see any future prospect from a dream I've had since middle school. Somewhere along my path, I forgot the simple reasons as to why I love to write. I forgot the very message I have tried over and over in poem after sonnet to try and convey to my audience. Time after time, my message while convoluted was always. Live your life for this day as tomorrow is never guaranteed. Love and do good to all who respect and honor you and possibly the most important one of all, adapted into the science community itself the term "Question everything"

 

We were born in our brains this strange ability to send energy waves in the form of neurons to perform perhaps the rarest gift of all in this life and that is cognitive reasoning. Our ability to resolve conflict and puzzle through the use of our mind. Dreams that inspire creativity to further understand our "Reality"

So as in my tradition with simplistic revelations to my own inner conflicts, I leave you with this massive article on a creative twist to my current events, as well as discovering my muse alive and still breathing.
