12.13.16 Never Stop

The thing at the forefront of my mind today is naysayers on the road to success, and the fear behind being alone. I think for me, I've met a lot of naysayers along my path. Unsupportive people, or people who give a little, and then expect me to allow them to use me in return. And I've been repeatedly hurt, and concerned about the overload of people who have treated me this way along my path. I think that being a creative artist, trying to etch something out in the world, and establish yourself, is sort of daunting, but doable. It's definitely possible. But the very act of creating something out of nothing causes those around you to have to adjust, and there's a necessity of space, as well as support, that's needed, that can create a lot of dissonances around you. I have noticed that there is an element of resentment that arises in the people that are around you, and learning to weed through that effectively, and in a matter that leaves you unscathed can be disappointing, and miserable, and maticulous, and difficult to render. But I do believe it's possible, and necessary, as well as inevitable, as long as I stay on my path. These are the growing pains, but the benefits and successes will outweigh the pain, in the end. 

This is a moment to lift up the helpful people on the path, and the kinship shared by all creative people trying to make a difference, and the space and freedom we hold for each other. And to not being afraid of being humbled by the process, in such a way, to be molded appropriately and set on course to find the truth in all of this.
