This Blew My Mind
Why do you feel you have to hide behind all this art bullshit? Who is the REAL you?
Don't take me wrong, your words and pictures are great, but it just seems like some big mask for insecurities when you babble in art-speak with other artfags.

the real me...
are you suggesting that the REAL me is the sum of my imperfections?
would honesty be me taking ugly pictures of myself?
why?
because THAT my friend, is the cliche.
the idea of the "REAL person".
if your going to be selective in what constitutes a "REAL" person, what are your grounds for priorety? are my pimples and bad hair days more indicative as to WHO I REALLY AM than a story i write?
one of us is pretentious, but its not me.
i have found that when making art,
i am as close to truely bieng myself as i can.
art to me is not a mask.
its letting people in.

What is this really? The implication that Ryan is hiding behind something false is a joke in itself. Every single person who has read your comment to Ryan has laughed at you. Since you decided to do something as stupid as reveal your own insecurities verbally (and not very well) by attacking Ryan, you really just forced everyone to see that the world truly is completely full of jealousy. The only thing keeping you safe is the anonymity of your comment. It's fine though, at least you know you are insecure, and although you may refuse to admit it, it is visible to the world.

i can only wade through the over sized pools of admiration that have surrounded you. without the intention of anything more than a message.... whispered in your ear perhaps, loud enough for them all to read. laying over your eyelids dried tulip pedals and the wings of a moth in thanks of the door you've left open. i fear, i cannot compare to those who have hooked your attention, as my identity is that only of one more lost soul. and i have hung my courage at the mat. but if i may capture a piece of your humble pie....i want to let you in on a secret....your art has caused ripples in me. i had forgotten that piece of my heart that was so easily detachable. i live inside my art and music...a bubble i have formed, that is my life. but too often i have taken for granted the hand i was dealt. the day i stumbled upon the endlesshallway...i remembered that i was not alone. i have paid homage to you, and the gift you have brought to life. and with your blessing.....i will become the anonymous.... the muse....and watch from afar. thank-you ryan......
