“Be silent, or say something better than silence.” ~Pythagoras

Those of us who are doing what we want with our lives will always run into naysayers, doubters, and people who think they know better. When you’re going after something big lots of people will tell you “no.” Sometimes you’re the only one telling yourself “yes” and that’s OK. Know that you’re in good company. I’ve never had a problem ignoring everybody else and what they say or think about my dreams and choices, I have been struggling more lately with the part of me that’s is sometimes creating self-doubt and confusion about what I want and should do with my life. For me, I have a rebellious stubborn nature, so it is easy for me to ignore the outside world. It is my own inner demons and that other voice inside my head that I have to battle with.

I continue to follow my dreams and fight for them, no matter what, but I struggle now with the challenge of how to make it all happen and within the challenge of today’s economy. I find myself torn between wanting to do something spontaneous and risky and feeling the pressure to be smart and responsible. In my past experience, I’ve learned that being spontaneous and risky in my younger years was the right thing for me. As I got older and started making more responsible decisions, thinking that was the right thing to do, it turned out that those decisions were not the best for me. So, that’s what is making it hard for me right now. It’s hard not to let myself think and be influenced by societal pressure. I know I value freedom so much more than stability and it’s been quite a challenge finding a balance between that and all the other things I value.

My whole life I have been so inspired by movies, books, and music to make my own characters or stories and draw scenes and characters to go with them. I love literature because it is another world. Literature is basically a way to express, escape, and enjoy. It is a central part of all cultures, the epitome of what language is supposed to be. To me, literature is a passion. I love reading, writing, and just anything to do with literature. It opens up a whole new world, and it expands the imagination. That’s why I named my blog ” A Room Of Ones Own”. Its a title of extended essay by Virginia Woolf.The title of the essay comes from Woolf’s conception that, ‘a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction. Woolf notes that women have been kept from writing because of their relative poverty, and financial freedom will bring women the freedom to write; “In the first place, to have a room of her own..was out of the question, unless her parents were exceptionally rich or very noble”.

I really want to become a film director.I feel it all. So I’m gonna keep all these feelings inside,keep my dreams alive until the right time. I want to have a place to share what’s going on in my life and where i am headed. I hope to share growth and some change in my life, sooner than later i hope, and i hope that with my new blog it will remind me every day to follow my dreams. look forward.

Anyway, just some of my thoughts. I’m still following my dreams in some sort of scattered way, so I don’t know how it’ll turn out, but I have lots of faith and hope that things will turn out for me. I want to follow my dreams.
