"Start me up..."
I've been feeling this void lately-- a void of art, expression, writing, emotion, theatre, music, freedom, creativity and understanding.
I'm working at BBAC again and it's great. I had no idea how much I missed kids and clay and being creative and being around enthusiastic, artsy people. While I'll always be an outcast because I'm not an art major of any kind, it doesn't really bother me; being an outcast is cool, haha. I'm working with Audrey this year (Keara stopped by for a visit today, though) and it's awesome-- she's such a fun girl. We both went to the Ani concert last night, though I went with Case and Becca, and it was such fun. It was very relaxing to just sit back on a fine evening and listen to music that actually means something; that has a real poetry to it. It was fun catching up with Case and again realizing that there are people out there who appreciate some of the same things I do, even if I don't completely fit in with them either.
I've been working on this clay book project at work for my mom's birthday and I think that's what really sealed it for me-- I realized that there's this screaming person inside of me struggling to get out. While I'm not going to throw in the towel and change my major to fine arts (I'm not that stupid), I feel like something has to change. Dance and yoga classes are a good start, but I need to incorporate into my life again the things that really stir me up.
