| User | Torie | | Topic | Trying/Not Trying | | Message | I am not trying to be good or bad. In fact I would like to give up trying. When I do this I don’t know what to do. However when I don’t know what to do, I start to become myself. This is kind of scary so I rush back to trying to do something, but each time it becomes less satisfying and each time I am more inclined to let it go.

Postscript: The Pond is a love poem. Blind Love is an anti-love poem. I am tying to write a synthesis, that is, the meaning of love and anti-love. I am also trying to stop trying and become myself.

Creativity isn’t a thing that can be forced. It comes of it’s own, and cannot be compelled. Be ready, and when the inspiration strikes.... ACT! <>< |

You arent trying to write a synthesis, you ARE writing one.
Trying can make you something you arent.
But when you DO, its uniquely your own :-D |
