I am Me

I am me

And me is self destructive

And emotional

Passionate

Angry, very angry

Hurting

But loves

And is loving

And cares so much

For you that loves me

But also for you that doesnt

Or for you that loves me a little but not enough to care and most certainly not more than yourself

I love

I loved

I dont fall in love anymore

I protect myself

How sad to love in this way

Imagine being able to love knowing that you would never get hurt

How would you love then?

Imagine you could jump off the cliff and you could fly as far as possible

How far would you leap?

I am me

And love me

Or leave me

Walking in the mist

You choose the path you are walking on.
You choose the next path you will take.
And the ones you took are behind you; some so far back you can barely see them anymore.
But so are the ones ahead, so far ahead you can barely see where they lead.
I feel I am forever walking in the mist.
I claim to lack a sense of direction while navigating my way around towns and cities; could this in fact be a reflection of my state of mind?

Sometimes life moves so fast that I find you don't get a chance to realise your surroundings.
Who walks beside you?
Is anyone walking beside you?
Or are you following? Are you leading?
Do you want to travel with the people you have chosen around you?
Do you choose to travel alone?
Or are you alone but wish you had someone travelling by your side?
What if you took a wrong turn?
What if the person you would most like to walk with and you took separate paths?
Will your paths meet again?
Where does your path end?
What is at the end of your path?
How are you choosing your paths?
Are you true to yourself? Your principles? Your beliefs?
And I guess most important of all if I was to remind myself that the most important moment is The Present,
Is the path you are on now, at this very moment, the one you want to be on?
If yes then, good choice, keep walking.
If no then,  stop and take a breath.
Step back.
Look ahead and go.
Go where you truly wanna go because you only get one chance to walk this path of life.

Passion, Perseverance and Patience

Sometimes when things don't turn out the way you wanted, you feel that your wanting was not enough,

but then you think of the times you wanted so much you made it happen and you compare;

have you really, faithfully, honestly and persistently given it your all this time?

If you really want, you don't give up, you won't give up, giving up is not an option.

Your passion drives your perseverance and your perseverance is viable on account of your patience, an enduring patience that persists until the realisation of your desire.

Passion 

Perseverance 

and Patience 

If you want something enough, you will make it happen, you will find a way.

The Beaver

The beaver (genus Castor) is a primarily nocturnal, large, semi-aquatic rodent. Beavers are known for their natural trait of building dams on rivers and streams, and building their homes (known as "lodges") in the resulting pond. Beavers also build canals to float build materials that are difficult to haul over land.

They are known for their "wildness", kindness, intelligence, "sense of humour" and sexyness and are just the most BEAUTIFUL CREATURES once they let you know them and love them ;)

Was asked to do a portrait for my friend Tom from The Boys Done Good www.theboysdonegood.com to be put on a cocktail menu he created.

He was pleased with the result...and so was I but most importantly so was his mum! ;)
