For an artist or creative soul, fewer things are ever in shorter supply than moments of inspiration. But you know we all know that old quote: "Success is 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration." I think it's important to not wait around for inspiration to strike to actually do something creative. It has to be routine, like almost a chore, that once you get in the habit, you will do it continually, and continually improve at it. Life should be a journey of consistent excellence.
I don't want to settle. And I think the only way to not settle is to be comfortable with myself, so comfortable that I'm able to do almost anything I want without the need for company or the inhibitions that people would normally have about trying something new alone, and without companionship, support, or someone they know to try it with them. 'New' should be a little bit scary and a lot exciting, not the other way around.
I need to organize my life, I need to find that energy that will put me at a better place, in a better environment. I need to revel in the sweat of productivity, and the satisfaction of progress. I must push forward because it makes me feel good. The long haul will be possible no other way.

Out of state, out of mind
I've been here in potato country for a little over7 months, and I haven't even thought about a journal entry in years. I don't really want deviantart to be a placeholder for my journal stuff, but it's too public.
Ah, the dog needs to go out. How's 2 paragraphs for unfinished brevity?
Thanksgiving Eve, 2016
Here I am at 5am in the morning, crying uncontrollably while lying in bed, after re-reading about Anne Frank.
This may not be all as random as it sounds. The country seems headed towards an era of persecution and intolerance, and it may just be somehow coming together in my head as way of the subconscious telling me that humanity has seen this all before.
Faster Build
The sands of time are speeding beneath my feet once again. Even in the midst of such a period of standstill turmoil such as this, I can feel it. Tugging at me. My face reminds me of that ever-present mortality, and things will only accelerate. I don't have any recourse -- I must accelerate with it. Languidness will not serve me any longer; indeed, it has only ever caused me problems. I must throw myself into... well, myself.
Quicker, most intensely, with more focus and dedication. I sometimes despair at choosing what to focus my energies on, so I'm left with the idleness of despair. I must (and am starting to, slowly) realize that there are
