I seriously doubt that anyone is still paying any attention to me. But I stumbled back onto my page and got hit with the usual nostalgia attack. DA has so many issues but I guess I still miss it.
I said something in one of my last journal entries (which was actually from 2007... daaaamn) about how I had traded artistic inspiration for love. I also said it was a worthwhile sacrifice. These things were not true. Some amazing things have happened to me since then, and I have learned.
That boy was bad for me. He didn't understand. He sapped away my creativity because he could not appreciate it.
I got stuck for a while.
But now I've found new love, real love. He's a dreamer, he sees the world like I do. And everything is beautiful.
He encourages me. I'm writing my book again. I'm getting really serious about photography. I may even start drawing and painting again.
Took a photography class this semester and worked with medium format film for the first time, and it was bliss. I guess I actually have two new loves, my dreamer boy, of course, and an old Mamiya C330 twin lens reflex camera. Hopefully I can find a scanner big enough for 11x14 paper, so I can scan my prints.
This school year has been really hard, with messy breakup + new relationship + hardest classes so far of my college career + figuring out what the hell I actually want to be in life. But it's summer now. I made it.
Look for me in the near future. I mean it this time, guys. There was a time when I sincerely believed that I could live without art in my life. That time is over.
Love.

No one gets out alive all we can hope for is
when all is said and done more is done than said
May your spirit keep the freedom
of a butterfly in spring,
and may your heart be filled always
with the joys of simple things.
May your essence claim the freshness
of the new laid morning dew.
All of this... and more...
is my Birthday wish for you.

Love that lives in the heart cannot be so easily terminated by time. Even though the encounter is brief its impression shall last a lifetime. No one can change the direction of love that lives in the heart. If you have loved that in itself is the answer.
Happy birthday!
