SPANISH, SUBLIMATION & ENCRYPTION

Friends have duly noted my casual & sporadic use of Spanish in the midst of English conversation. Friends have also remarked about my being cryptic in some of the art and doodling I do. I love puzzles, I love making people guess, I love challenges and imperfections. Which explains why I am still stuck on certain things to this day, and reject other things that often come my way.

The use of Spanish and encryption have aided in giving off subliminal messages to the world. Whether it be in an away message or in conversation. And it has, in general, led to a very creative side of me. Initially these habits formed because I was too shy or scared to show/say how I really thought and felt. So in a way, I still got my message out but without really saying it.

I am still very cryptic in a sense to this day but it's nothing I am ashamed of. It fuels my creativity and I find it very entertaining. Ha Ha. However, I am working on just telling it how it is, straight up. Less hiding, less games. I surprise myself at how much more and more I am opening up and the things that come out of my mouth sometimes. It's like so much easier to just be yourself instead of putting in all that effort to cover up. But it's always nice to maintain some privacy and have your own little world to yourself.

PLACEMAT

Perhaps we make new friends all the time, and hang out with certain ones more than others. But that doesn't mean anyone gets replaced or forgotten. You are still to me irreplacable for whatever you're worth. And no one else can do what you do to me. A placemat is not just for decoration, or for holding one's place, or for making clean-up easier. It also reminds us of future opportunities. There is a fighting chance.. that when we're ready to eat, we will be supported and welcomed and there is always a place in time that we belong.

VERITAS INLUSTRAT

"The Truth Enlightens" (Latin)

It feels good to be yourself and know that people will accept you for who you are. It's so much easier when you don't have to pretend or put up a front. There are some things you may have tried to hide before but when it all comes out eventually, just roll with the punches. If people are really true friends, they won't judge you based upon what you do or who you associate with or who you love. They take the effort to see who you are as you alone, who you are deep down inside despite all the social and physical clutter of the world. People will excuse your mistakes, some of the things that you may accidentally say, and look beyond your clumsiest times. All that matters in the end is that you laugh at yourself and you know who you are. If your heart is in the right place and you have good intentions then live it out, but don't be afraid to fall or make mistakes cuz that's how you learn and appreciate.
