A Year Ago...A Year From Now

A year ago I was just starting to truly embark on a journey to discovering an art I now pursue as a profession. My artistic soul was being re-born, as if seeing a new color for the first time. I was whole-heartedly searching, not sure what I was in search for or what answers I may find.  All I knew is I was curious for all & any.

A year later I feel as though so much has happened.  So much, yet not nearly enough.  I now have more desire than ever for discovery.

A year from now I hope to have somehow opened a new chapter of life, of art.  To be wiser in knowledge, yet younger at heart.  I hope to lose bad habits & gain self improvement.  Exchange negativity & insecurities for a stronger self. 

Regardless which year, time or place I find myself I hope to always remain true.  To remain eternally grateful to have been granted such a blessed life & loved ones who guide & support me.  I shall allow myself to indulge in life's many guilty pleasures, but never take any of them for granted nor overindulge, for I know it can be ripped away instantaneously.  I hope to stay forever humble.  To be wise, but remain curious.  To aspire to inspire.   I hope to always have the ability to find optimism through the darkest days.  

No matter how far I venture I hope to always remember where home is.

Most importantly what my art represents, what I represent.
