understanding

stop trying to understand people ... make them understand you.
perhaps what you have to say is right.

i can be sad if i want to. at the blink of an eye i could be really sad. and genuinely so. but then i can turn around and be happy just as quickly. and be truly happy. sometimes it's hard to switch those on and off.

sometimes he just stands, wasting minutes until something happens. what's he waiting for? monetary obstacles are minimal compared to mental. but what the hell is it?

not that i always want to be happy. but what to call times like right now?

"once you stop painting (the autonomy of art) and allow other people to look at your art it's no longer yours." so true.

advice. from all angles but no one listens, not even me. alone.

alone.

things happening around, people coming and going. where are you going?

  1. if you try to understand people, maybe you'll understand yourself. or maybe you want, but you'll spend your time at least..
    music doesn't make my minutes pass quicker.
    art helps you
    and no one sings you lullabies..
    how are you?

    you can never completely understand anyone, even yourself. each day brings new challenges and decisions. Don't overthink or over analyze, you'll go crazy. West Maplewood street is a LONG way from L.A. Be you and love each day.

    hate to sound blunt, but it sounds like you are feeling sad because you lack a purpose in life.

    what you need is a real job.

    where i work hires photographers but they require some college courses, aren't you a dropout?

  5. i can't make people understand me. just like i can't make people like me.

    'you can lead a horse to water...'

    my clarity defines me, and if someone understands the real me, then they win the plastic toy prize.
