“What are you passionate about?”

“I’m immersing myself in my creativity because I’m trying to get my inner lion to come out. I’ve been in seclusion for awhile because I’ve been dealing with mental illness and I’m building myself back up from that.”

“What are you struggling with?”

“I’m bi-polar and schizophrenic.”

“Is the art helping you to center yourself?”

“It is, but one of the things that brought it on was how people would react to my art. I never want to be above, behind, in front of anyone. A lot of times expression comes from a magical place that isn’t accessible to the general public and that can create separation. I don’t want there to be separation.”

“I hear you.”

“I’m getting to the other side of that now and I’m like ‘If you can’t deal with it, that’s your problem!”

“Totally. I stopped you because you’re an interesting looking person and your style shows your viewpoint. I think it’s everyone’s responsibility to show their perspective because more perspectives give us a better understanding of what’s going on. Do your thing homey!”
