my soldiers

I wrote this piece originally with a dual personality in mind, to imagine flicking back between the same person, from the left and right side of their brain. I continued this idea in the form of how the people around me influence me, whether it's my decisions, my mannerisms or demeanor. I've always been a nurture over nature type of person, and I wanted to combine a dual personality and the influence of others. I wrote about my experience of life over the last year, my brain working against me and how it got there (what influenced it, what I imagine it to look like). Everything she tastes, I can taste through her. Everything she feels, does, wants, needs, I feel, I do, I want; and that's how I envision myself sometimes, an observer to what's going on inside me. I hope for others to relate to having an alter-ego, whether that be in the form of another person, as it is for me, or in the form of another side of yourself, as it also is for me. I would like others to realize that having different people inside your head (soldiers, in my case), can be used to your advantage, because soldiers are strong when used for the right army.

Creativity helps all aspects of my life - it provides an escape, gives me a sense of control but also freedom. My creativity can be found in my writing, drawing, sense of style and is forever evolving. I need creativity in life - whether it be film, museums, my own creations - to continue to grow.
