The whispers in my heart tell me to stay open for anything. It is these feelings that I shut out the most and follow my logic. Most of the time, logic is wrong. Signs in my life point to a culmination of everything that I have done. Experiences building and and forming me to what I am destined to do. What is that you might ask? I will tell you as soon as I find out . Changes in my person and my mind have brought me to this point where I feel like I am truly free. The world is mine to take. A friend that I met here when I first arrived in country once told me “Son, you got the world by the balls… don’t let go!” At one of my lower points I ran into Jeff again and he lifted my spirits by telling me the same thing again. He was right, totally right. The world is mine for the taking. I have enough funds to move anywhere and work anywhere I want. My passions lie in creativity and expressing my self in a form that people have to know me to understand my thinking and motivation for the words that I write, the music I create and the images I capture. It is through this, these mediums, that I open the window to “me” and let you see it for all it is.

On a different note, I am once again sparked by this creative spark to write my feelings by the ambience of the Baghdad International Airport. I sit here amongst all walks of life some of which remain quite foreign, even after my extensive traveling. Yet all of us are here for the same purpose, to escape. To flee from the life that we have chose to lead. Some are going on vacation to see a new place for the first time. Some are here to go home and see loved ones. Others are here for business in Dubai or Kuwait. None the less, we are all victims of fatigue and monotony. Seeing the same people, the same office and the same problems day in and day out is not healthy. It breeds conflict and self destruction. Soon, I will be rejuvenated and able to relax in my home with my family and friends and breathe a sigh of relief as the memory of what I am doing here fades and my future comes into light.
