I've kept a journal, not religiously, but on and off throughout my life. It's been my secret best girlfriend, my soundboard for bitching and complaining about love gone bad and what a shitty deck of cards life dealt me this week. But you know, the cool thing about keeping a journal is the fact that you can go back and learn from your mistakes, see how far you've grown. I recently dusted off a few volumes and started reading about my past life, and was struck by how intimate, vulnerable, and fragile the voice spoke yet with fierce determination to forge ahead. I also noticed I kept repeating the same mistakes, over and over and over again and I thought to myself, "When the hell is this broken record going to stop?" The transformation happened slowly for me but I can't complain because all that emotional angst has allowed me to blossom into the artist I am today. The Melancholy Girls is my visual and poetic expression of the on-going analysis to define myself as a woman. I hope this book will inspire women of any age who struggle to find their voice to be FREE to EXPRESS and CREATE and EMBRACE who they are and KNOW it's all just fine. Really, no excuses. When you allow yourself that unedited freedom there's no stopping the train. Who knows, I might be reading about you on your website next week! What connects us is our compassion for each other's stories and if you feel like sharing I'd love to hear what you have to say. Lemme know. |
