I broke free from the chains though. I said no more to the people and things around me that held me back from being who i was. Toughest and best decision i have ever made. My goal since than has been to be happy, and live a life full of passion inside and out. The struggles, everything good and bad that has happened to me has been a real blessing in disguise. I wouldbe who i am if what i have gone through had happened!These past two years have been the biggest eye openers for me. I realized that i absolutely cannot live without creating, i was born a creative and to work with my hands. Going to school at night for some tailoring and art classes is what gave me that motivation i was craving. I love my day job, im working with my hands and brain all day but its just not something i picked up because i wanted to, it was brought up to me and back than i felt i had to conform and i did because i had no choice, ill say im happy that i have a talent in that field, its what brings the bread home, so i would not change my past for any reason. I want to make a huge change in my career thought. Its time. It's been taking me so far many many long days and nights of hard earned work, to work my way up to my goal. I mean who said good things are just given? I know that us dreamers like to make things happen and are among some of the happiest.My objective is to become an independent artist, fashion and accessories designer and a street photographer. Maybe i will do some more writing, as i love to write in my blog about everything now and also share my poetry in the streets of New York, for people to enjoy it! These are all things that for years have kept me going and going!I no longer conform to what people expect me to do. I do what i feel is needed to live a safe and happy life.Happy sewing and writing!! (Working on menswear pattern-making this week!! Lets see how it goes!!)Queens, New York 2017. Leica M240 28mm 2.0
