Do work that matters. Vale la pena

Living in a state of psychic unrest, in a Borderland, is what makes poets write and artists create.

Write with your eyes like painters, with your ears like musicians, with your feet like dancers. You are the truthsayer with quill and torch. Write with your tongues of fire. Don't let the pen banish you from yourself.

I had to leave home so I could find myself, find my own intrinsic nature buried under the personality that had been imposed on me.
