What life consists of right now does not depict what life consists of.
But why are there feelings and memories that, at first, i just could not let go of? Things that ate me alive...not being able to letting go of them ate me alive.
Now, I can't find them.
Will I have to recreate them? Will I have to relive them? I'm afraid I won't be able to.
I don't know what it feels like to lose a loved one, to have an empty nest, to face a life-threatening illness, to struggle through addiction, to go to war, to go through divorce, to lose a child, to be abandoned, to have a handicap, to be robbed, or to have a disorder.
How do I classify the things I do know? What audience do I reach to....and how do I show them how I've felt?
There is a river that runs through me.
It touches every one of these things I can not explain
and I am unfamiliar with where it starts or where it ends
If only I could see them, maybe I could express them
I know I can not control them....
How do you conquer the present
in such a way
that you will never regret not doing so when nostalgia hits?
When I find the answers, my art will mean something again.
