Anyway... I woke up this morning feelin sorta off balance.

I made it to my first class but soon realized today was no a school day for me. Even though it is beautiful today and it will be for the rest of the week, I can't seem to feel the buzz.

So, I'm home. Gonna sleep and recoup and gain some energy back. I'm drained.

After I sleep, I'm gonna paint and write and juts get back on track with myself.

Because although there are new parts of me I'm discovering, I still need the older, vital parts of me to cooperate. Everyday, I feel myself growing. My mind is expanding at full force and It's hard to keep up with so much I have to do and want to do and need to do.

I've been readin so much. Sooooo much. My mind isn't full yet. I just like to KNOW... ya know?...

My art is not like me at all. It's confined. It's controlled. It's calculated. Damn. I gotta change it all to reflect the me i know now. Visceral....

But first I need sleep.

So sleep first. Then I'll get up and paint and intro y'all to some new poetry.

Ashe.
