I was hit with the truth, vulnerability and zest you express. You are correct in that you are still young, but talent knows no age. You are gifted with many things and I have been blessed to see you blossom all your life. Keep at your journey, keep writing, keep thinking, keep allowing the thoughts to ferment in your mind, keep talking about what inspires you, keep sharing your insights. And I for one will keep reading. xoxo Aunt Susie I am reading your blogs, starting with this one. I was hit with the truth, vulnerability and zest you express.

I can relate to where you're coming from in struggling to pin it down to a form translatable ~ but I think it all boils down to just speaking your truth. Hammer it out every day and you'll be understood, related to, and eventually, even inspired. Thanks for getting the words out of your head. Personally, I'm working out what to write about/how to get started and think in circles much like this - your honesty is encouraging. :) I think being passionate about being passionate (even if your passion-inspiration is a constant variable) is a relevant redundancy.
