The Postponement of the Intermission (Or Alternatively, I have been to absorbed in life and shit to actually write any thing down)

Being here...

If you are a frequent reader and you are looking to read something properly constructed and thoughtful this one probably isn't for you. My goal with writing here is never to make it a vanity piece, I don't feel like there is much point, so instead I aim to connect with you by using my experiences to frame the similarity you and I face in this human condition, in the hopes that it serves in what ever minor capacity to highlight and develop our journey towards becoming creative entities   of true purpose. I am too tired tonight, so here is this instead...

I knew when I decided to commit to this path, that of being a realized, and if nothing else, sincere creative, that it would be an extreme and tumultuous journey. What has followed this far has been a complete shattering of my reality. Since my journey started I have given up an immense amount in material terms. I no longer need my antidepressants though. I don't feel any sense of loss, but rather freedom.

Since last I wrote here I gave up my home. This is what I knew the path would require, in my case at least. I gave up my comforts. I watched as the world I knew faded away. It wasn't traumatic. It wasn't dramatic. It was fluid. I learned the meaning of letting go. I moved to an unfamiliar town.

Not because a new environment holds any magical new narrative, only because it helps one let go of the old. Then after a couple of months I made another leap in the dark and live in Cape Town.

This intermission in posting is probably because I was living in that white hot of life we all tend to. I highly recommend having yourself a full blown life overhaul wrapped in chaos, uncertainty, fear, triumph, persistence and then ending up in a position where you still aren't sure what exactly it is you are doing, but fucking hell, you know that you are alive.

But here we are again, I look for to more thought exchange, maybe one of us figure this damn thing out.

Thanks for reading, glad to be back, and more to follow.
