Me

The marvels of creation is in itself a wonder. As a artist, a writer, an imagineer, ect, I know this more than anything. Creating, drawing, writing, these are passions where I express myself fully and freely.

Many have commented on how unique and utterly me I am. Well of course! I am one of the few to reply with "who else would I be?" Many people want to be someone else, that they loose themselves in the searching. I embrace all the quirks I have, all the little oddball things. when it comes to expressing just who I am, I never hesitate or second guess.


I am me, and forever will be. I find that I have a soul of an imagineer. I am not ashamed nor wary to admit that i have imaginary friends. They're called characters. And each new one I make takes a home in a part of my head. Each character is an alter-ego, a piece of my soul, a part of my voice.


They all have emotions, opinions, and will, I just channel it and turn it into either a drawing or a story. I have minimal control of what they say or do, the only thing I can do is decide if it gets out or not. Conversations, arguments, interactions, all happen in my head. Sometimes I can't block them out, these are times when my friends say "a fog descends over my eyes and it's like I'm in another world." These are times when I just can't stop the flow, and I just let it all out.


I have many characters that are twisted, and sometimes share their thoughts to my own. I am not sure if this is good or bad, but I accept it. All of my characters are a part of me, therefore I treat everything about them seriously, and they have a sense to leave me when I need them to. Is it weird to have conversations with my characters in my head? Some may say it's one sided, but for all intense and purposes, I am discovering and learning about them. I don't know everything about my characters, they develop as I continue to hear their voices.


I can't help but wonder, is this just me? Or are there others out there who understand themselves to this level as I do.
