sean t: I am reminded often of my lack of knowledge. The more I think that I know something, the less open I am to new information. Here's to staying open-minded and free from the ignorance of knowledge. ;) |

sean t: Isn't it a wonder, how you eat food without hunger? Take when you don't need, and build your life on greed? The disease that consumes you, is a beast in silken robes. Wicked in his magic, a cancer to his breed. |

sean t: I used to be a hippy, until I met a bar of soap I once was suicidal, then came across a rope I used to use dope, now I just am one. |

sean t: I have felt deeper, heard clearer, tasted sweeter, in dreams than I ever have in "real" life. |

sean t: Some say that time is the baseline, others posit that time is an illusion. I'm somewhere in between. I tend to look at time as a dimension, just like space is another dimension. Or, time and space are at least latent functions of the dimension we currently inhabit. But how many dimensions are there? I think that music can teach us how time can be manipulated. I actually believe that music is the universe, and string theory agrees. Knowing that most of this universe is dark matter leads me to think that the bulk of scientific knowledge still lies just beyond the veil. We've just begun to understand life and consciousness. Our science is still in its nascency. Which is absolutely thrilling in my opinion. Imagine the secrets left to be revealed. Just thinking about it gives me the chills and makes my spine tingle. I need to learn the math, I need to learn the song. |

sean t: I'm not concerned with making people like me, and i'm not hurt when they don't. I'm interested in personal growth. don't want to waste any more time on negativity. there's too much in life to be grateful for and every day brings more opportunities to learn. i'm glad when I read something that really makes me think and gets my creative juices flowing, and if what I write does that for just one person then that would make me feel great. but writing is my therapy, everything I write is initially for my benefit but it's always nice when I find someone who can relate. this world still contains some really good people and it seems like most of them are artists. maybe we are able to be more empathetic towards others, for whatever reason. I know that my struggles with addiction and illness have made me more tolerant and understanding of people. but I have my moments of weakness, like all humans, when I can be impatient or insensitive. but at least I recognize it and try to improve, I can tell it's gonna be a lifelong process but i'm up for it. I must set the ego aside and just enjoy the ride. |

sean t: I get a little upset when someone gives a bad review just because they don't understand a piece. If you don't have the vocabulary or the intellect to get it, just move on. Don't screw up my score because you're too slow to catch the meaning. When I read a terribly dull and lackluster poem with a fourth grade rhyming scheme, I choose to remain silent instead of giving them a well deserved star. It's the polite thing to do. |

sean t: Not everything you write will be well received by all. Creative writing, like all art forms, is a very personal and subjective experience. Just like beauty being in the eye of the beholder, so creative writing is appreciated according to the perceptions of the reader. If someone doesn't understand your work and gives a bad review, wish them well and pray that their minds open. Also, try to see what they see. Look with an objective eye at your creations. Strive to always improve. Most of all though, keep an open mind and enjoy the ride. Witness the evolution of your craft. Be honest with yourself. |
