i’m full of ideas lately. #creativeoverload!

(Wednesday, December 1st - 2:24AM)
taking a break on some OutSpokenNYC work & letting the creativity flow through my brush a bit…
my imagination is running a bit wild with ideas…
my mind is going back to the time where i started this piece. 
why i started this piece, for what purpose & the execution…
that has changed, as i am now a different person.
living for myself, not for other people. 
took a turn for the better, i think from where i could have easily kept digging a hole.
this isn’t a representation of where i am now, it will be a glimpse of where i was & what i was subconsciously figuring out.
where am i now? unbelievably happy with what life has given me within the past month. great company, great friends, great hope, great possibilities. 
now playing: not giving up on love (armin vn buuren vs. sophie ellis-bextor)
