It has been a while since I have written a blog post, mainly because I havent been able to think of anything worthy enough of people's time. However I will attempt now not to think, but to just write and hope what appears is interesting and is something that I can call valuable.
Despite my best efforts I have lately been creatively constricted by what I believe people will think of me. I have always been adamant in stating that I do not care what other people may think of what I do, much like many other kids at school trying to be cool and unique. However I think it is impossible for an individual, to some degree, to be completely impervious to the opinions and behind-the-back whispers of peers and other people within earshot. If someone truly was, I'm not sure if that would be entirely liberating or strangely limiting. Perhaps being aware of the expectations and general concensus of what is deemed successful by those who surround you is beneficial to individual progress. I believe that is the case, so long as awareness is not mistaken with reliance and dependence.
With all that being said I feel that I am in a point in my life where I need to start attempting to achieve more of my creative potential while caring less about what other people think. Whether it is through writing, or music, or something else or everything at once. I know the people that matter will support me. And I also know I cannot be young, whimsical, careless, handsome, talented, funny, smart, likeable, kind, selfless, sensitive, tough, muscular, tanned, sexy, chiseled, tall, well-endowed, or extremely sarcastic forever, even though it has been 21 years of pure gold so far. I digress, the point is that mine or anybody's potential will not be fulfilled on its own, and I am slowly realizing the importance of this. I am readying myself to one day (hopefully soon) grab hold of my junk and walk out into the world and truly give something a shot, and I hope the beauties in my life will join me. Anyway, Conan is starting so I will hopefully be back here soon.
As always, I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this, unless you are a Nicki Minaj fan. In that case you can go to hell.
