impulses, the road to freedom and success.

We fight so hard for our freedom. Speech, action, decision making, clothing, sexuality, but the truth is we often feel at a loss when we have nobody telling us what to do. I've been thinking about this for a while. It goes back to kindergarden when coloring outside of the lines was wrong, when writing the letter D from the bottom up was wrong, when standing out was wrong. I find myself telling myself that a lot of things are... wrong and for years I've been trying to undo the things I've been taught that are so socially acceptable and just do what I want instead. Of course there are times when we have to give in to being professional or respectful. I believe in those things but I'm really tired of not knowing what to do with myself when nobody is spoon feeding me this bullshit information. Who says that you can't cry when you're happy, you can't sing when you're sad, you're eyes can't be filled with rage when you're feeling in love? You know, I don't know how to draw. But worse yet, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DOODLE! I've never been one to sit in class and draw on my notebook and that's because nobody was telling me how or why. I'm ashamed of myself. Whenever I draw something I always think...wait this doesn't look RIGHT but I have no one to please but myself. I've been coming to terms with my own perception more and more. Thank god. I'm super opinionated and proud of it but everyone has their weakness. That's why I love improvisation so much. You just do whatever you feel like! Even if you don't feel like doing anything at all. LOVE it. Everyone should give it a shot.

if you want to improv then you should get this book!
