Vision

[Cosmic Mist]

I've been away from this forum for a bit - i've been working very hard to do something that i see as worthwhile, something that that makes sense, something to get me somewhere in life.

I have been working towards this dream that i have, this dream to work with all sorts of words, twisting and turning them to my whim, bending them to my fantasy - creating meanings of my own particular choosing.

I have been dreaming so long of being the person in the vision i hold that i think perhaps i have forgotten to be myself in the mean-time. Between the deadlines, the exams, and the study, i think i have lost track of what it was originally i was searching for...

You see, i used to think that i could be a writer - that i would one day create worlds worth exploring and characters worth following. With a cat on my lap and coffee as my aid, i would build walls and rip them down, only to rebuild them in new and different ways. I would build castles in the sky for psychotics to live in, and nothing would be as it seemed...

I would love to build worlds for people to live lives in, for people to explore, for people to see as they would wish.

But for now i am working in a bank, and studying a management degree. Perhaps i need a little life experience before i can begin to write in my own right. Perhaps i just need to keep my vision in mind. Perhaps i just need some vision...

This is great, I had (and still do) have a dream of being able too do all that in reality, but as of now i know it impossible, so i invest myself in different lines and art mediums, being a demiurge inside my own skull box. I know exactly what youu mean, sometimes it is unbearably painful having all this in your head and not being able to let it out in an adequate way. I wish there was a way to output the ideas and images directly from one's head like channels: visual, auditory, cognitive.

anyway, good work!

All our fingers burn with stories that we just don't tell for lack of talent, lack of time or lack of tarnish. I think we all need to let the world knock us around for a bit before we can write anything of depth and perception.

Nice piece.
