A space in a moment

Yesterday I was no very different from today that has been an important learned lesson I heard an old song of Billy Joel which now I understand a little bit better... Sometimes I look at the life of famous poets and I feel like stealing a bit of that none can't blame me for wishing attention I was left behind so many times in my life... Instead I write with no purpose at all just because I want and because I can I don't know when this need started but I know it has helped me to get here... Sometimes I look at the life of famous painters and I feel like getting a slice of that as well then I remember Van Gogh and his ear and I get afraid to end up like that... So I continue painting some of my weird faces not knowing why they are in my mind but I know if they need to tell me something for the first time I am really willing to listen... Yesterday I was no very different from today waking up early to write and then go to work anybody could do the same life is a space in a moment in which many of us fall. Jessica

Usually something comes to me, but it's always at four in the morning, but if it's worth putting down, it's worth putting down. I wonder if Van Gogh could have foreseen his paintings would be worth millions.
