I’ve always had a creative imagination.

I was born with a very vivid imagination. As a kid, I was half convinced I was an alien trapped in a foreign world where scientists observed me. I even felt my own parents were cleverly crafted robots whose main function was to observe me. They would thoughroughly be replaced and reconditioned every night. I was also especially good at escaping clever aliens plots to capture me. I wouldn’t sleep too long in the same position for fear they had devised a scanning system that would get my body’s imprint and beam me out of this planet. And yes, this was way before I had ever seen Star Trek. And yes, I never much for blind authority.

For as far as I can remember, I have always loved expressing myself. I have always been vocal about what I sensed and felt, to the smiles of indulging adults around me. For years, I have loved writing, ideas, impressions, etc. I have nursed the romantic notion to write a book one day. I have actually done some work on it. It will be called Fighting the Invisible Enemy. It’s a pretty straightforward look into how we spend so much time fighting ourselves to eventually embracing our true nature. It’s the story of how we fight against ourselves and finally embrace who we are.

So why am I writing this at 11:30 pm while I can’t sleep? I am reading Gene Roddenberry’s biography and it strikes me how much he loved writing. It just reminded me why I have been so attracted to arts, whether in form of music, writing lyrics, photography or anything with an artistic creative aspect to it.

So I will continue doing what I love doing most, writing, communicating. Even if sometimes it isn’t always easy finding things to write about in this blog, it is fun and very satisfying. I feel I am stretching a muscle, or maybe more like developing one, that writing skill.

Ultimately, I feel life is a huge sandbox where you are given free reigns to do whatever you wish. The Source of all things gives you the primal energy and you decide what you want to do and create. And as such, you must deal with the responsibilities, good or bad. It’s your choice ultimately. Can’t wait to see the dreams I have tonight.
