You all have seen that I am deeply entrenched in the arts and am drawn to that which invokes creativity. You all have read some of my poetry and have seen how I put various pictures together to make more art. Everything you see on my blog is art and creativity inspired. Well I decided to shift gears for a moment and pause. I want to postpone creativity and artsy things of such and make a brief transition. Sooo what I decided to do was just write. I want to write some thoughts, ideas, and things of such just so you can get a diverse depiction of who it is that I am. I just feel like writing, simply put. Is that too much to ask?!

            Well for starters… I don’t even know where to start. I could write about different things and it will sound like, I don’t know, stuff I guess. This is my first time ever blogging and I believe it is because of the place in life I am in right now. I won’t get into detail about my life because I just don’t need to and you probably don’t care anyway, but yeah I seem to blog as a way of escape. I seem to blog to release some thoughts and hidden things in me that need to come out. When I blog it seems that I escape to another realm. The ideas and things that come from me to this blog are personal and dear to me. These ideas and thoughts you see in front of you is what is me. This isn’t all of me you see. This is just a little of me. I really don’t know what I’m talking about right now, but I think as time goes on, some more meaningful writing will come from me. Right now I’m just rambling on… I feel like writing, but I don’t know what to write. That’s weird and awkward.

            What concerns me though is the lack of enthusiasm from young people and people of color in particular to move beyond the stereotypical ideal of what reality is supposed to be, and try to seek to discover life in new ways. I guess what I am trying to say is that there is more to life than just what the media feeds you. Society has become so complacent in that it has literally accepted passivity and has chosen to comply with whatever the “it” is at that moment. This “it” can be fashion trends, music, social scenes, ways of speech, or basically anything that everyone else is doing. I guess what I am trying to say is that as I look around and observe there seems to be a lack of individuality. It seems everyone is jumping on the back of someone’s wagon, doing what it is they see everyone else doing. I think that if more people would rise out of the pit of confinement and self containment and would choose to blaze new trails, trails of their own, the world and society as we know it would be one we could not have possibly imagined.

            I am a huge advocate of individuality. Who I am and what I do speaks my personal individuality. With this being said, I am one who opposes following “trends” and do what it is everyone else does. I tend to think outside the box (don’t mean to sound cliché-ish) but this is true. For those of you who have witnessed my other social networks you can see that individuality is me. I speak of this word individuality so much so, that I thought to define it. Individuality, in my words, is to know one’s self and have a sense of purpose in that which one seeks after. Being individual is deciding to rise above the norm and…. Want to know something, I am going to end this write here… you ask why? It’s because…
