This is a Self Portrait Video... of me challenging myself to talk to myself out loud.
It's was hard.
When you watch it, you may feel like I am telling off the general public, but no... this is what it would sounds like inside my head when trying to make a decision. This is me, talking to myself. Plain and simple (okay NOT PLAIN AND SIMPLE) But in logical terms.
I wrote myself a letter when I was 17 in 2003 telling myself to change my attitude and be myself and not take shit from anyone etc, and I didn't realise how I actually listened to myself - subconsciously, until I read it 12 years later, this year, & published it in DAMED Magazine 03.
I want to push myself, always and more, but my unwillingness to take a risk and not be my full potential gets in the way, I have no idea why I let that happen.
So I talked to myself and tried to work it out. Like the 12 year old letter, I think this will sit in the subconscious very well, and I hope I continue to take emotional, personal, creative risks, to engage the life that's paved out for me.
