“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others”
It's unique. Yours is yours. Mine is mine. No matter who you are, what you look like, what activities you like, your sexual orientation, whatever. You have a life force, an energy that is completely and utterly yours. I'm a hypocrite if I tell you not to let that be squashed, because mine is every day. So I will just let Martha tell both of us together :)
PEACE OUT HOMIES! <3 |
Hey, my name is Alyssa too, lol. So, I am currently closeted to my family as well, and I know how emotionally frustrating it is sometimes, espically since we're in Christian families. I saw your comment on a Luclyn video, and decided to check out your blog, and I like it a lot. I hope we could chat sometime. :)
