where I am....

I've been working on finding inspiration, in anything and everything that I can pull from, and most importantly, at any time. Most times, I feel the same depression and ignorance that most feel towards the creative side of their persona; one that, I believe, we should never fully give up on or discount. But as I journey through this life, I find that most of the people that I come in contact have no thought or understanding of such a so-called 'creative' side. We have lost hope in ourselves and hang onto the thoughts, ideas, and works of others, while not contributing anything to the picture.

I, in fact, started this blog, and many other of my various works, and even more so, actions in life, to not only improve on myself, but bring an understanding that I do not want credit(unless a day comes where that opportunity strikes), I solely am for the movement of those who I come into contact with. I want to affect the masses, and more meaningfully, those around me, my family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and even strangers.

We are here to take this journey together; to feed off one another's visions and creations. But we lacklustly ignore everything, and every gift, we've been given. To be soul-less, lost beings with not much of a purpose other than to follow. Follow the ways we've been taught.

So, essentially, to solely take our society in and become nothing more than a by-product. And eventually waste.

Now, what should we then do, if this nonsense could actually be true?

Not become a typical American consumer, buying into media outlets and shopping malls, but buying into ourselves, and creating. Creating a better sense of being though, just that, creation. As we expand our ideas and thoughts, and for that matter, creations, there are many reactions that effect many people.

I struggle with this everyday. As, I assume, we all do.
