• //Henry - Evolved

  

  I actually have an additional new year's resolution this year: And that is to "culture" myself.

  That is, however, not to say I want to reinvent myself. That would be a little arrogant in some respect, especially considering that I've worked hard on the development of myself. It would be more accurate to say that there were some enlightenments that came around late in '07 that gave me a clearer (but still muggy in many respects) idea of what I want to do with my career, and that is to add another dimension to my current skill set. After all, it doesn't make sense for me to drop everything I've already learned to start over at this stage of my life.

  It's mental. For three years, I expressed myself through comic-inspired illustrations. It doesn't surprise me how quickly I lost faith in my own work and feeling like I've hit a wall. For every carbon monoxide molecule spit out, there's a need to intake, or else there would be no combustion. Fortunately, I have been inspired. This will be the year of learning. Hopefully, sooner than later, I can successfully add another dimension to my work and break out of the mold I got caved into.

  Yeah, it may cause me to become a bit anti-social, which I've been feeling for a few weeks now. But I need the space. And yes, I still love my friends. I hope to make them proud when I come out of this.
