I'm feeling uninspired today. Allen is at Patty's house working on his graphic design portfolio. Today he found out he was nominated for "best in show."
I hope he gets it. He's been working really hard and he doesn't brag or get obnoxious that his work is so great. Tonight, Patty came over briefly and showered adorations over Allen's work. "Oh my God, you're already practically a graphic designer. . ."
You know, the thing about two artists in a relationship, it kind of see saws. Is it ever possible to have two really successful people together and happy in a relationship? I'm like his support. He supports me too. I'm just coming up with ideas, but he's such a great designer. Well, he's been focusing on graphic design for six years and I can't get myself to focus on one thing. Sometimes I feel like my head will explode and my brain is branching off into a million side streets, alleyways and lanes.
One thing I have to keep telling myself is,
Not to compare myself to anyone else, even the closest person to me in my life.
I suppose one day my hard work will pay off, and instead of hoping for attention, admiration, or encouragement from anyone, I need to just believe in myself and do my art for myself. It shouldn't matter if no one sees it, if it doesn't change the world, if no one notices, if it doesn't pay. . .if it makes me happy and proud of my accomplishments, no matter how crazy my ideas are, I should just. . .
keep going and going and going and going and going
good grief!

hi there.
totally keep going and going.
everything you desire and more can be yours.
it's all willpower.
being a support system and a muse and all tha can be draining,
so don't forget to take the time for yourself.
appreciate and praise yourself.
dance around in that meee-ow hot(!!) corset of yours.
and don't worry about the exploding branching brain thing.
it's a sure sign of genius.
