Music is not the only thing you feel to your soul.

This is my deep meaningful post.

At least this is what I plan on writing as I write this.

I've been up since 2 am this morning and I couldn't sleep. And instead of I stayed up like a tweener and have been watching seasons of One Tree Hill.

This show is really the most meaningful show to me in all time.

It inspired me to become a writer first and foremost.

And what started it was with this quote from season one. It's from the Tv Show and writer Mark Schwann. I take no credit for it whatsoever.

PEYTON (to Lucas): "I want to draw something that means something to someone. You know, I want to draw blind faith or a fading summer or just a moment of clarity. It’s like when you go and you see a really great band live for the first time, you know, and nobody’s saying it but everybody’s thinking it: "We have something to believe in again." I want to draw that feeling. But I can’t. And if I can’t be great at it then I don’t want to ruin it. It’s too important to me."

This is what made me want to write the very first time in my entire life. Honestly and truly.

I think it's because I relate to what she is saying so much, except for here artwork and drawings, it's my writings.

If that makes any sense.

I think it mostly stems from my insecurities and I can admit it because everyone has insecurities.

What it is mostly, I think is, I want to be able to leave my mark on the earth when I die and that something from my life will live on and maybe help someone's life for the better.

Cause if I don't end up doing that, then what is the point in this life?

If I have no positive outcome on the world whatsoever, then why I am I here in existence to begin with.

I'm also a religious person and believe I am here for a reason, so it's my duty to oblige and find out why.

I don't know if this post is going to relate to anyone or mean anything but it does to me, and I hope everyone realizes that and is positive about this.

Your passion for writing and drawing is awesome.
Don't ever lose it.
My 14 yr old daughter has the same passion.
She spends most of her time writing fiction and drawing Anime.
I mean like 6 hour a day.

She's not on the phone and chatting with friends.
She writes and draws.
So I buy her anything she needs to enhance her abilities.

As far as you leaving your mark or a legacy.
YOU JUST DID by posting on NDN
I am thinking of copying all my posts from here and writing a book.
Problem is I would have to get written permission from every member here. Maybe it will be a collection of comedy.

Yeah I hope to never lose my passion. I didn't initally mean for the post to be this long, but I got kind of carried away.

It's great that you are encouraging your daughter.

That's honestly something my parents never did, and I wish they would have.

Not saying that they were horrible parents because they did the best I can, but I think I would've done better if I was encouraged back then and not now while I'm in my twenties making up for lost time.

Oh to be young again.

Isn't that easy to say but hard to do? Seems like it is for me at least.

I didn't learn this lesson till I was 31.

The 20's are full of emotional turmoil.

My best advice to people in their 20's is:

Be thoughtful about the decisions you make, because they can affect your entire life.

Having babies is very troublesome for young people, because it is easy for them to walk away from the child and mate. Then the state owns your *** for the rest of your life.

If you do have a child and find you can't live with the person you had the child with, it would be better to be roomates for 18 years than to pay child support for the rest of your life.

I know a guy who has 4 kids with 4 different woman and is not married.

He has to commit fraud to survive by working under the table.
No place wants to hire him because of all the child support paperwork
they would have to do.

He can't find a woman that will keep him because he can't make enough money to pay child support and a support a new family.

He's 51 and hating life.
