If art hinges on emotional and mental health, you must protect and heal yourself so that you can be the best artist you can be. Sleep. Eat. Get out of bed. Notice things are beautiful. Love silence.

Find people that validate you when you are scared.

Find people you can talk to about how you perceive the world - that weird way you experience life that pushes you to create art. The way that you think.

Find people you can tell about the shadows on the tree bark in the morning who will not think you are crazy or wasting your time.


They're out there.

I'm ready for the big time.
Is it ready for me?

I tried. I mean, I really tried. But I just can't keep pretending that everything's all right. Because it's not. And it's never going to be. And I know how sorry you are. I do. But, man...you were the one that I depended on the most. And you let me down in ways that I can't even... I'm just—I'm having a hard time forgiving and forgetting here. You know? I just don't...I don't think that we can ever be what we were. You know? I just don't think I can trust you.

Pressin' on, on and on and on ...
to the higher callin' of my Lord.

Essay due tomorrow that I forgot about until just now?

Bring it.

I finally got my fire back.

No power in the 'verse can stop me.
