I've always wanted to be an artist, but sometime in my childhood, I got discouraged and turned to poetry to calm the demons in my head. When poetry wasn't enough, I then graduated to writing. I've been writing since the millennium began, but it wasn't until 2007 that the dream solidified in me.
If you have good friends, stick them closer and let them help with holding the burden for you. Spend more time laughing; watch cartoons, go for long walks, and read poetry books.
