If you're not expressive of yourself, then what are you?
We all exist, and in existence we express the layers of our self accordingly to the manner we adapt, while taking in a reflection of the way we perceive the universe, to change us, an ebb and flow of changing within and changing what is out. So then, we exist to express, to provide impact, and to receive impact-expressions, to dance with our very nature as the macrocosm corresponds with the microcosm.
What are you, if not expressive of your deepest inner-most self? Shallow?
Why be shallow then, if that indicates less living? Why keep yourself from your very purpose?
Why not strive to express your deep inner-most self artistically and intellectually?
Why are you here, and what is keeping you from doing those things which you were taught you didn't have the potential to do?
I'll let you in on a little secret. The moment you understand you are capable of expressing yourself in those ways you deeply sought, is the moment you begin doing so. Don't limit yourself.
Be, as I am that I am, know not for then you are closed to what you might understand. Express, your deepest and most profound self, and live more.
