Writing is an out. A portal to a different world, a world in which anyone can triumph and anything can occur. Dreams can become reality as pen is put to paper. Writing is freedom. Writing is hope. Writing is the future. But, most of all, writing inspires possibilities. So, go ahead and write.

"The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say." ~Anaïs Nin

Drawing is a passion. A fire found within a person that can ignite the smallest of flames and allow them to magnify. Images become solidified as charcoal traces the outline of what is to come. Drawing is peaceful. Drawing is an escape. Drawing is immunity from the cruel world, if only for a while. So, pick up a pencil, find a piece of paper, and go draw the world.

"A work of art goes through many phases of development, but in each phase it is always a work of art." -Hans Hofmann

Music is expression. A uniqueness found in individuals which cannot be classified or described in entirety. Sounds blend together to form a unified front of beauty. Music is necessary. Music is the backbone of society. Music relays feeling. Music is a tiny glimpse at the pureness the world has to offer. So, plug those headphones in and turn up the volume, let the music become the soundtrack to your life.

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." ~Berthold Auerbach

Creativity is needed. A part of life that is essential to continue growing and expanding horizons. Ideas mold together to become something bigger than life itself, they become aspirations that are deemed achievable. Creativity is unique. Creativity is greatness. Creativity built the world. Creativity is everything. So, don't wait to be inspired, go and find something to spark your creativity because it is few and far between; when it appears, there is no telling how long it is planning on staying.

The creative is the place where no one else had ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. -Alan Alda

The world is a mysterious place and all of us human are merely observers to its on-going experiments and constant physical changes. We are ever so lucky to be allowed admission into its vast mysteries and secrets. We must cherish the opportunity, not just for ourselves, but also for the future. May they too get to witness the awes and wonders of the world bestowed upon man-kind. Treasure the Earth. Join the fight to save it.

"If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." ~Toni Morrison

Life and death are a part of the continuous circle of life. We as humans are emotional creatures who dwell on the past and what could have been. Remember and honor the dead, but do not pity them. Do not feel sorry for the time lost and the life taken. Instead, feel sorry for yourself, for you have not witnessed the great and cherished afterlife. The dead are bestowed with the great pleasure of knowing what is on the other side, while we alive are subject to theories and mediocre guesses. Nothing truly magnificent will ever be able to be fully captured in words, Instead, it must be felt, heard, seen, lived. Do not pity the dead, for they do not pity themselves. Instead, they pity the living, those who do not know the greatness of the afterlife.

"Live life fully and you will never regret."

I go by ReadtheLyric09, and my mission is to make a difference.

May 2011:

I found my notebooks! As of May 29th this is where my stories are at:

Box Full of Secrets (Not Completed) - Chapter 5 uploaded May 29th

The Calming Effect (Not Completed) - Chapter 3 uploaded May 29th

The Only Thing I Don't Blame Him For (Not Completed) - Chapter 14 started and will hopefully be uploaded soon.

Big Surprises, Great Rewards (Not Completed) - Eh, really on the back burner. Since LOST has ended, I haven't felt like writing much about it.

To Adapt: The Process... - Pretty much the same as above, yet even more so. I'm actually thinking of pulling this story. I might consider putting it up for adoption if the right writer wished to continue it.

There you go! I hope I've made some people happy with the updating and the news! Continue reading and reviewing!
