love art

I love art. It comes from different aspects of life from other people. It teaches you to appreciate life and encourages you to keep going. no matter what... positive or negative, it encouranges you to feel. and i've said before and learned through my cousin (entropy) that "pain is a reminder that you are still alive." to me, art is something that can inspire or provoke one to survive. is this the paradox of art?

Day 54 no smoking

I remember the first time I started smoking. I hated it, but I thought I could get used to it. And once I got used to it, I never felt the same again. Today, I feel like I don't want it anymore, but I feel tired sometimes. I look at other people smoking and I think to myself about how everyone plays the rat race in life. There has been a time in my life where I never knew what it felt like to be a smoker. I remember when I was a little kid, my elementary school teacher told me smoking kills. Whenever I saw my dad smoking I would get really sad and tell him please dont smoke. and he promised me not to smoke anymore. for the longest time i never seen him smoke. only sometimes. right now I feel like sometimes is something I can't afford to do anymore.

Day 40 No smoking

I am still coughing and I am working on getting new health insurance. I have been meditating to focus on listening to my body. I can feel certain parts of my body if I focus hard enough. I am also trying to understand myself more clearly. I plan to have a day to myself to write everything I need for myself: new ambitions, plans for the future, ideas, art.

have you ever

Have you ever been "scared",
to admit that you are?
yet you do it anyway.
This is what it means to be an artist.

I have the guts to be who I am.
And take the critticism that comes with it
so I can become a better person
and plan ahead for success.
