gillyloves69: that loves talking about themselves ...and their admirers

2. what was your childhood like ?3.what things have you enjoyed doing most in your life ?
4. have you written a lot spoken a lot or creative a lot ?
5.what was do you enjoy expressing yourself the best ?
Not very talkative people so far... lol. Actually I've been writing my life's story for almost as far as I remember so it's not an alien thought to me. My childhood was highly dysfunctional but my parents did show me a lot of trust and whenever my mother remembered she would be supportive of my creative efforts. I closed off emotionally though so writing became the primary outlet. As I think I mentioned earlier I had this insight at the university that I should dig out my own creativity rather than analyze other people's work (which I was quite good at). They really did not support opening up the creativity in France where I went so it was quite the struggle and I left after a while. But after that my own visual art surged to the surface and on that road I am. I always felt I was making it for others though, I'm sure that's not what people expect to hear but it's part of my spiritual outlook on life. I'm in any case more of a documentarist than someone who wallows in fantasy and fiction, though sometimes when I work on a picture I feel immersed in another reality.

Well I've "created" reasons to make my life meaningful in a deeper sense but I don't expect others to buy into my beliefs/insights. I feel that my life is a kind of show whose hard bits are meant to teach me certain things so that I can be a better assistant for those who want and need it. Again, there's more to it but let it be enough for now.

i can't wait to travel this year and see family if i can
got a lazy son just turned 21 that i'm trying to sort out ..getting ready to do some keep fit stuff and a whole lot of reading and researching

symbolistartist: Unfortunately I have a sneaking suspiscion that this is not interesting anyone but you Gilly... I'd be happy to tell plenty but I do feel uncomfortable from all the people who seem to have low self esteem.
You're right that severe problems within the family when you grow up creates a person who either ends up a complete drug addicted wreck or is able to use their insecurities to their advantage. I obviously didn't decide to close off, it just happened as with my child's consciousness I tried to find a way of protecting myself. What that lead to and how I got out of it will be in my book. I was about 14 when I felt that the book had to be written; one could argue that I just thought I was quite different from other kids and had this idea because of that, or that I had an actual calling. Looking back I feel it's a calling. I hope to help empower other people who struggle with similar issues (especially young women). At school and university I got the confidence that I can write anything I want and make it work out. Because communication is at the centre of my attention the spoken or written word obviously tantalize me quite the bit. I expect to have to confront antagonists and maybe that's what I'm practicing here on the net, but I certainly wish to be out of it and not have to deal with the negative sides of humans this much. In short; I hope my book is pretty much done soon and only requiring the tedious editing phase (there's more to it but am not going to ramble on about it here).
there's going to be lots to talk about here symbol !...don't bothering talking about people you might not agree with or their esteems ...or about the way that they bother you
JUST BE YOURSELF AND FORGET ABOUT THEM ( DON'T TALK ABOUT THEM BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MANY OTHER THINGS TO TALK ABOUT ) !
before we talk about all this stuff ..do you get any english TV channels in Findland ? do you get cable TV ?
i'm also interested in which 22 collages you've displayed in the cafe ? and what people think about them ?

LOL well actually Gilly you've said a few things while encouraging me that has helped me try and spend less energy on worrying about other people, though I'm sure it's not a rapid process for me... So there's certainly a reason for me being here
Yes we get a lot of shows from all of the English speaking country, mostly from America and Britain of course. They are not dubbed which I think is very fortunate. One of the good things about being in a small country, that's for sure. But nowadays I could get Swedish TV (which I prefer to Finnish) on satellite so wouldn't be a big deal if I moved LOL. I don't see how I would NOT move. And funny enough most Finns understand it very well.
I guess I could give one link here in public which will show some of my stuff:
There will be reviews in the local newspapers. One friend said a friend of hers carries one of the postcards in lieu of an ID card and another was speaking of guidance... not much else you get to hear as an artist, lol. People don't tell much IRL though on the net I've had plenty of comments.
