Power, presence, pleasure, pain, and play are vital to the artist's life. And even if you are not an artist, acknowledge them anyway. Each will have their importance, sometimes all at once.

Learning is the most beloved self-mutilation
Denzel Xavier Scott (famous writer in the making, God willing and the creek don’t rise)
I write because I want my voice to stain this world. If all of my thoughts and observations simply sat with me they would collect dust and once I died be as if they never was. I know. I know this to be true because from the age of 11 until 15 only a couple of people know I handwrote a major portion of a fantasy novel I'm only now getting around to typing up.I'm almost 24 now.
In between all of those years I spent my time writing poetry and short stories that I have desperately tried to improve and get published. I was an English Language and Literature major at the University of Chicago trying to accomplish some aspect of that goal. I don't regret that decision at all. I was exposed to a lot and the severity of that environment immediately after being an International Baccalaureate candidate made me into a low-key ghetto snob and intellectual masochist.
Now I'm currently in a Writing M.F.A program at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) trying to accomplish some aspect of that goal I suppose, although SCAD may not have been the best choice. I kind of regret this choice. I'm not feeling my mission nearly as much as I did at the University of Chicago. Everything SCAD is giving me feels shallow, intellectually, most definitely, but even artistically as well. But I've set a goal, and I must stick to it. Oh yes, for any SCAD defenders, I currently have a 3.83 GPA on a 4.0 scale. I'm not a louse. I just feel like this program may not have been the most appropriate choice for me, although it does endeavor to teach practical skills, I just miss the undercurrent of theory to bolster my thoughts, but I have eyes and I read on my own for my own sake.
I write because I wanted to be a maker, not just a consumer, and I wanted to make fantastical things that held no substance in this world. As I got older I wanted to make vessels that held my observations about the world. So I write to spread the plagues confined within my head and my heart.
If you have ever loved, it is a thing of giving. But if you love me, do not aim to give me the world. It is dead and worthless. Give me knowledge, share your wisdom, tell me the secrets of your heart.

Been comin home to my parents a lot to heal and to get things taken care of. Had chile rellenos and I'm reading a book I really love, and I almost feel like content about it. I wish I could keep more places as a home base.
Am I wrong for wanting to be loved, and worst for admitting it?
