Who am I? Lets find out.
I was sitting at the airport, a bloody mary in one hand and my hat in the other. I set them down, and opened pinterest to scroll through aimlessly as I wait for my flight. As I do, these self discovery journal prompts came up and the title of the image says, "WHO AM I?" The questions proceeded to ask me what are 10 things I like about myself, what do I want to change about myself, etc. Corny right? Well, call me corny then, because I was suddenly going down a rabbit hole.

Ignite
As I sit alone breathing in the morning air, ribbons of translucent light surround me. Reaching out in front of me I feel vibrations that are playing music to the beat of my heart. A soft song of heavenly bliss plays against my emotions. Teardrops form a puddle, reflecting into the depth of my soul. Suddenly looking down entranced by the reflection I see, something grips and pulls me in a diametrical world. Twirling and spinning further down I go. I'm now in a trance, gliding through vivid streams of light. Floating weightlessly I pass by embers of glowing teardrops pinging against my heartstrings, gently guiding my way. I feel the soft warm droplets kiss my skin as whispering tones of kindred spirits swirl around me. The soft glow of dancing flames illuminate the darkness, while soothing notes of a rhythmic melody play. Curious thoughts invade my mind pondering the vastness that lies ahead. Transfixed by its magic, but fearing what is unknown. I catch a glimpse of something fluttering, stardust trails behind spiraling. Captivated by the mysterious shadows that are calling me, I am spellbound. Tones of flickering gold and amber penetrate the spell I'm under. Hearing distant voices echoing, calling me I awaken. Silence takes over until I hear a rustling of whispers. Feeling the soft mossy ground beneath my feet, curious feelings taunt me. Hearing the whispers with each step I take, the closer I get the more distinct they sound, words forming together. "Strength comes within bringing out eternal light that never fades." Appearing before my eyes I see the exact words lit by the glow of the embers. Still questioning how I ended up here. Reasons unknown, but there has to be a reason for why I am here. I feel such a deep connection to this place. This magical, beautiful, haunting place. An aching need, a desperate need to know. I let the thoughts float away right now and continue on my journey. Those vibrations are back which felt like an eternity ago, I have lost all sense of time, no grasp on the reality that took me here. Fear sets in, but is quickly whisked away by the soft light that I have become so familiar with. I feel like I am almost to the end of my journey, the warmth of glowing embers gets closer. Seeing such vivid colors, colors that are not from this world, colors that not only when you see them, you actually feel them. How can a color be felt so deep? Never experiencing something so exhilarating, never wanting this euphoria to end. Something grabs hold of me, I can't turn away nor do I want to fight it. The intense glowing heat fills every inch of me, every cell of my being comes to life, I feel awake. Stronger, empowered, such a sense of peace. Never have I ever felt this complete before. Suddenly I am free from the unknown force. What appears in front of me is the most beautiful array of flames, colors so vibrant. I hear a voice, it comes within, you will now know the true meaning for this journey. At this moment, I am again surrounded by ribbons of translucent light. I close my eyes for a brief moment, when I open them I am looking into the reflection of my soul where my journey began. I now realize how beautiful it really is. Beauty is not skin deep, but rather soul deep. Ignite the fire with in you. We are magnificent we just need to see it.

Big Ambitions, Small Steps
I had no idea what I was going to write about today until I opened up my computer and sat there for a minute and just thought about it. I'm tired, I'm stressed, I'm nervous, the list goes on. In reality, some days are great and some days are terrible. Some days I feel like I'm on top of the world and everything is going right and the others I'm borderline depressed. I never talk about anything like that but that's the truth. But you know what? Do you know what keeps me going day after day, failure after failure? My drive to build and my drive to succeed according to my own standards. Not some BS standard established by the society that I surround myself with nor what other people want and expect me to be. This is me. People can take it or leave it but this is it. What you see is what you get and I try and be as genuine as I possibly can all the time.

Interesting Enough
Interesting enough I am at the point of tearing down buildings and destroying planes, metaphorically of course. Through mindless weeks of feeding my (what already feels like) massive brain, and making ends meet. I guess you can say, “Welcome to Fucking Adulthood!” How exciting. My question is, what makes growing up look so cool throughout our childhoods? I would think freedom, but lets be real, that doesn’t really exist in this capitalistic country right now. Thinking, with my big brain, I suspect that materialistic marketing for many companies were in play; let me rephrase, replay.

Once Wrote a Play
Once Wrote a Play I wish it was still with me today This is the reality of the children who learned early on they had to focus on how to be happy in their own space. This was not just a need, it had to be prioritized in order for their mind to survive. When you have an imagination that is not only developed but also encouraged by a parent, the skies are the no-limits areas of life. This also includes the universal sky.
