Inhale... exhale.
“Again?” she said to herself. “This is happening to me again?!” this time she didn’t say it to herself. Her right hand glides across the page as she writes the words, questioning herself why. Why is this happening again? This time the responsibility is greater. She has four months left in her lease with her now ex-boyfriend, who left her by herself to deal with what they built together. Kira looks up from writing and blankly stares at his desk that she disassembled a few days ago. Shaking her head she continues to write, “Bakit ako nagpadala sa kanya?” which translates to “Why did I let him get to me?” or “Why did I let him fool me?” in Tagalog. “Oh so we’re writing in Tagalog now, huh?” she thought to herself and laughed. Those short moments of laughing at herself has helped her for the past two months in between the crying, blanking out and/or remembering old memories.

Why I Chose a Creative Path
Damn. Where do I start? At what point should I start? I just want to say first of all that pursuing a creative career is so damn hard, hella hard. WTF, why is it so hard, hard? Everyone and their moms appreciate art, a well written article and good design, but damn, why is it so tough for artists, creatives, writers, and designers to make a good steady living? I just feel like it’s a never ending battle, until... of course, you meet that one person that will give you a shot. See your potential, see the possibilities of growth if they decide to give you that shot.
