Painting On a Blank Canvas

A Blank canvas is needed for me to paint my thoughts upon it using descriptive....
What color would the words represent?
I would have different hues of blues and reds on this particular day.
What I need and crave is closeness and realism--nothing pretentious.  I need hugs and 
kisses and to be reassured with consistency.
I am indeed a dreamer and a romantic who always has a tendency to give too much of 
myself, then I lose myself then have a hard time knowing who I am when seeing myself 
after the winds have blown by.
I keep myself company with a book--escaping into the pages, attaching myself to a 
character that reminds me what I want to be, both these are pages, pure fiction--I have no 
friction.  On this canvas I can paint what I want you to see--hopefully the end result will be 
me.  TOBEMEIS2BFREE

I think that's what most of us want--the genuine. Some write, some paint, and some...well...some just some. It is all good and correct in the greater scheme things, when one's expressions are motivated by love of self and others. Wonderfully inspiring to read your thoughts, Gigi.
