RE: Five minute free write - California
Hey brother. Nice! As I read your artfully written piece my mind went to a friend of mine who spent some years there. A crazy good graohic artist and musician who was riding the dragon to the top. He told me of the bright lights of success he experienced but the darkness is what has stayed with him. The price he paid was more than he had to give. He still gets calls from LA and NYC but even now resists. He says he ended up pimping out his love, his art, and lost himself. But his nature is sensitive and trusting which is the basis of his talent. My guess is that won't last long in those worlds. Peace brother
I think you pretty much summed it up. Gentle of heart and soul in a quest to create something beautiful and memorable pulled down by the city, corrupted. My ability to interact, trust, be around people, has definitely been wounded, severely. Yet I wonder how others are able to succeed and still keep themselves whole?
People around me say the world is only what I make of it, but as a positive person I really do question that philosophy. Hopefully with amazing people like you and others in the Alliance I'll be able to find the right place in the world for me :) Even if the crypto market craters, lol.
You have soul. And you also have an artful way with language. I think you will find your place brother, one well crafted phrase at a time.
Hehe, you rock. And after that Sunday chat I can read the words in your voice, lol :) I hope so. And hopefully soon...
I liked that. Makes it all feel more alive. That there is a real person on the other end of this digital divide. Peace brother.
