The world becomes a creepy place when you are the only one to support your dream. That is why some of the most advanced people end up in co-dependencies, or similar secondary problems that provide some kind of comfort, acceptance or love, instead of shouting from the rooftops: “I Am An Artist!” or “I Am an Inventor!”, as soon as they know.
Now that I am in my own recovery (Recovering Artist, yeah baby, there is such a thing!), I can see clearly.
The funny thing is, it never goes away. Neither the talent, nor the fascination with beauty or with solutions, nor the urge to create. You are born a poet, because that is who you are meant to be.
To all the women in my mother’s family whose lives are an example to me and the wind in my back.
