“Do I want to do it or do I not?”
I live by my creativity. I wake up and I decide what I want to do with my day and with my life. And that’s what carries me to live as an outsider, I think. That is outside the convention of what most people are told. Most people are told to live their life. So, as a woman to wake up with clarity and knowing and doing what I want to do every day and making that happen, I think, is my way of living on the outside. It’s following your instincts and that is what we’re intended to do, is what we want to do and not to be told or held back.
It is rebounding off of all the negativity and all the suppression, the people that tell you no, you can’t do it. It’s as easy as making that decision. And that is what I’ve done. If you succumb to fear then that is what you need to overcome. But if you just realize it is a yes or no question it can be just black and white. Do I want to do it or do I not?
I was given Piglet when I was a little kid. The Winnie the Pooh days. I still have him. I’ve never actually seen another one like him. He is a reminder and empowerment of childhood. Imagination. A really positive character.
