Free Verse Poetry, Life & Stories of a Creative Maven.


The Life I Pictured A Year Ago

Daily writing prompt
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

Granted, I am a fun-loving, cool guy who writes free verse poetry in his sleep. I truly do create these amazing stories, fantasies, and concepts through my dreams and nightmares. Short-form writing has always been my key to life after learning psychology, I speak too much. Also, I learn in English after a few C’s; get to the point already.

Through reading more books, I learned many talents from Atomic Habits, One Minute Manager, Steal Like an Artist, The Art of War, and the 48 Laws of Power. Now, did I read these books in the same year? Nope! After talking to many people online and off, and watching many interviews with a handy pen and paper, or my smartphone notepad, I was put onto some of the most amazing books to be more well rounded in life.

One of the deepest sentiments I keep in my life every single year, which comes from my favorite HBO TV show, Entourage, is that I don’t want to be a suit. I can act like a suit, but I am a creative.

I picture myself a year ago, bursting back on the scene to explore more of my talents and skills and just be a positive influence on others, being a creative. Being a suit, for which I am a bit in my day work for unnatural reasons, I can come off strong and a bit menancing because I am very good at what I do, but being that empathic creative encourager of awesomeness and positivity, I will always thank my creative side.

  1. I think a lot of creative people are forced to be suits at some point of our life. But it’s important to stay true to our passion.
