All things new.

| Borrowed from a Hero: Austin Madison |
NEW:
I have regrets since discovering Cartoon Brew (again thanks to Austin). I now know that if life was mine to do over again I would fight to make it to Cal Arts. I would do the hard work of overcoming my own self-doubt and do what I really, really wanted. It is new to me to admit that the dream life I have lived so far wasn't really the dream I started out with.
The Project We sounds interesting to me because it lets me explore what I am thinking and share it with folks who might help me take my creativity and thinking to a new level. This post might be a cop out because the answer to what is new is easily answered with my very first post. This blog. But I also tried to answer the question with a really true new part of who I am.
It seems like a joke. If you ask anyone I know what dream I've given up on they'd tell you straight away its stage/production management/design. The truth is I am still pursuing those dreams. What I really gave up on - what I really let go of - what is really, really gone without a hope of recovering is too painful to describe and was out of my reach. So I believed. I hope I can be the kind of person to inspire others to never let go of that one - that one that seems out of reach. That one that is gone for me. I'm glad to have discovered Austin's blog and the Cartoon Brew world so I can connect again with something so wonderful, but it also changes who I am. It reveals to me and now to you (maybe) why I get behind everyone so hard and push and push towards the seemingly unattainable...
Also new:
baby boy.
bible study with real insights.
job responsibilities.
a need for focus.
a bad habit of oversleeping.
a re-realization that I have it made - pretty much.

ReplyDelete-It's not new to me, as your brother will tell you, and probably already has, but thank you for it! Without you, I wouldn't have this dream life, but I probably wouldn't have the one I started out with either.
I love that you're doing this. I'm very proud of you!
