A Realization

that there are so many sources and people who inspire me to be creative and to find my path eventually. i really do owe it to them:

susan: who encourages me to fill out bunch of applications, one of them would work out, it'll be of my interest
marion: often forceful and controlling, but all her efforts to help me out in this otherwise difficult life, truly inspires me to work with others
ted.com, royden: ken robinson's video on education, to study on my own before i immerse myself back in school (which will be: a. costly, b. possibly confuse me even more)
michael: his constant pursuit for staying creative, his path in creativity, his consideration for others and love of outdoors
ma: making things work in not-so-ideal situations
alison: encouraging me, helping me to look for sources

and there are many more, i can't just keep complaining about how i may be less fortunate others. because for the same amount, i am more fortunate than others.

learning from ted.com through elizabeth gilbert's thoughts on creativity
do my job
my genius, as a separate entity distant from my body, relieving my desperation in succeeding, of pressuring to be inspired, "the inherent emotional risks of creativity"
keep showing up, keep doing my job!
