| My life lately. |
Of all the blog joints, in all the towns, in all the world, you clicked on mine.
Lucky for you I have much to say.
Since my first post, it seems a lot has happened. I saw Cavalia's Odesseo and I am almost finished with my first ceramics project.

| The fact that this is just clay that I molded with my bare hands, AMAZES me. |
I have been writing papers mainly and I started to think about how much I can accomplish when I am ALONE.
There is a lot to be said for self-reliance,
whether it is the entrepreneur,
the single parent, or the child who learned to read.

| FREE WRITING: painfully grasping an idea until it injures |
Writing my whole life story for my other classes has murdered any desire I had to write.
I am trying to "free write" and trust me, it hurts when you are over-thinking every word.
Over-thinking is when I have an idea, and I analyze it until everything that I loved about it is GONE for some reason or another. It is what I do when doing assignments because I often worry about what the teacher will say or how they will grade it.
When my high school art teacher noticed my fault in over-thinking, she stopped me to say that,
"Whatever art you do needs to be for yourself. There's so much more behind those eyes than just a GIVER, you need to take so that when you give you have something left."
Simple things people say have always stuck with me.
My Communication teacher seems to believe that there are categories of people:"introverts and EXTROVERTS" and different kinds of learners:"auditory, visual, and kinesthetic."
Although this may apply to some,
I categorize myself as an introvert who functions as an extrovert; a learner who
need to SEE,HEAR,and FEEL everything to fully digest it.
I don't think we fit into these categories that we're shoved into.
No matter how I try to communicate everything that is HAPPENING in my life or in my head,
I can't.
I can't capture the picture for you.
Maybe the issue is that it happens all too FAST, or all at once, that it is
indescribable, or that it doesn't exist in the world.
If you were here before, I've updated my blog quite a bit with small improvements here and there such as the TAB feature so you can distinguish from my assigned posts and my self-generated ones.
#1 Sunday Morning, the first assigned post, came out pretty nice, if I do say so myself.
If you have not noticed, my LINKS are casually placed throughout my posts in RED.
If for some reason it does not work or you have any suggestions, let me know.

I love that you have a .GIF from "It's Kind of a Funny Story." That movie is sooooo awesome!
ReplyDeleteI totally relate to your struggles with writing. When I'm writing (whether it's song lyrics, instrumental music, essays, whatever,) that I focus on trying to make it PERFECT, that I end up dissociating from the entire project and end up not caring. As if the harder I try to squeeze it, the more it slips through my fingers.
I'm jealous of your tabs.
I feel like my writing mirrors my train of thought. When I can't think clearly or I am occupied with something else, it's a wreck. My writing becomes purposeless and if it accomplishes anything, it's my default setting. When I really love the topic or grasp the idea, it's a lot better. I have also gone back and forth from writing for different things, (I even have a horrible teen poetry journal). I become obsessive until something is perfect and completely the way I want it. I think about whatever it is until it is finished. Then once it is complete, the pride shows. Apathy only hits when I feel defeated. If for some reason I took on a topic outside the realm of personable topics, I feel instant defeat, procrastinate, and then fail to do anything at all.
ReplyDeleteYou have tabs too Kyle! (blog posts/photography) I double checked!
You have found a voice and style that work for you here. Keep it up, Cari!
