My artistic practice is moving forward and yet at a stand still. I feel inspired and I'm working very hard to let go of many of the inhibitions that have been holding me back for far too long. But despite this, I barely have time to breathe, let alone do homework and get work done. I officially have two jobs, one of which is only five hours a week but the other is feeling more like a full-job even though it's not supposed to be. After I finish with my work and my homework, that's when I have time to eat, sleep, spend time with friends and finally, create art. I'm sad that art always seems to be one of the last things on my priority list for life. But I don't want it to stay that way nor do I want to let it stop me. Every day is a new opportunity. I have been challenged and forced to deal with things that a month ago, I could only imagine. This past weekend has been especially hard but I think overall, I'm doing pretty well. I'm managing. It hasn't been easy but I am here, now, and all of this will only make me stronger.
