© Flory Huang “Life in color with you…” A #paint #pen #doodle. #Words #writing #art #type
A collection of things I create; a collection of things I value; a collection of things that make me feel; a collection of things that I love. I can be whiny and angsty; inspired and profound. I can be whatever you want me to be. Do you know what I mean? I am a visual artist and designer obsessed with passion, art, fashion, lust, knowledge, change, technology, creativity, well-being, loves, physical activity, body modification, science, and all detail. I do not settle.

The worst thing anyone can do to themselves is to deny a life driven by their core self. The worst thing an artist can do is live in a reality driven by others.
I have been waking up all over again. Somewhere between successes, ambition, connection, and work ethic I shifted my perspectives into conventional ones that didn’t belong to me in any way. This is no post about regret, bitterness, or despair; just a recollection. (Both kinds of recollection, actually.) I think it’s easy to mistake these conventions as ‘modern’ or ‘contemporary’. Social media, television, and peer pressure have incredible hold and smothering for those who are born into art. At least I’ve found myself lost in it several weeks at a time. (Let’s clarify this is no speculation on man in modern day. I appreciate digital technology very much and am an avid user myself.) Filtering became more complicated than I have ever experienced before. And the compulsion to make others happy first, had blurred my personal boundaries. I actively identify that the reason why this all happened is pretty irrelevant. I’m so glad I’m awake again.They say that artists have a deep capacity for sadness and beauty, which results in their keen eyes that represent realities. They also say that that doesn’t make sense to anyone on a deep, authentic level unless they are artists. I realized I would be hungry for the rest of my life when I was 7.
A large external factor of my present-day restlessness stems from my strong resistance and principles about art and design that are constantly proven valid by a certain community’s behavior, attitudes, work, and dialogue. This is has been a simple thing to change, though. I have no need or responsibility in associating with it; spring is a great time to clean. I see lost hearts myself; the lack of authenticity that results from it is disgusting and uncomfortable. This distaste has been unexpectedly very useful.
I have been waking up all over again. The same way I have become more of a writer like I am a drawer; my professional playground has involved more writing too, along with interactions with people and communities that use verbal expressions. It’s been nice though, I’ve always loved poetry dearly. I’ve always treasured words dearly.
