I can say, that life itself is interesting in it´s itself. I find that in problems, the only thing I can do is try to manage and stay in somewhat of a calm state of mind. Panicking does not help the scars go, it only makes them deeper to a point where you wonder¨ how do I find a way out?¨. You go back to what you know, what made you, you. Life is not something simple or something that can be remedied with a hot cup of water, tea, coffee, or whatever it is. In short, that is what depression is and that is all it is. It is a constant struggle not to tip over and when you tip, you need to find a way to get back into a stance. And what I mean, you need to stand up to it and flow with it, until you can beat some part of it. The more you let your gut or instincts help you, even if you are wrong in some sense, you are in another sense right. You just have to look at it like that. For me, it was when I was depressed and deciding or thinking about quitting, and what I mean was when I was in a situation that made me shift. Medication, hurtful or direct thoughts of ending yourself does not help. You will never get out the nightmare, but you can have fun in the game if you choose to. Then again, to my thought to you,¨ What was your game about?¨.

I find talking to myself an interesting discussion of me and what is in my mind. It is funny to say how long I been dealing with voices or the paranormal. However, I will get more into that later, since that is apart of my life and art and how I basically get by. It is my lifestyle and how I see life with opened eyes. looking from anotherś shoes, trying to figure that idea or concept out. It is hard at times and it is one of those things that people ask me about. I get asked, ¨ Why do you talk to yourself?¨. Well, it goes along the lines of a ¨ Well, good question.¨ Me, I can be a little off in the crazy or corny small thoughts, almost like an abyss. I am so deep in thought, that I wonder, " What do I think about?¨

I find depression a hard thing to actually get out of my mind. The reason for that is because I do not know who is going to listen. What I mean is simple. If you understand someone´s life like you understand a good book, the will be in the category of that personś life. Me, I really do not have too many emotions to really, carry out and say. I will put it like this. Me, I have a habit of shocking people and dealing with a lot of strange things that even I, from time to time, wonder about. You wonder, why? Well if anyone has ever, get the time to understand me, just know I have a dark sense of humor. I will be honest, it does go a bit far, but the message is pretty clear. I find life an interesting thing. However, I do think of humanity and salvation in the aspect of destruction to promise, to extinction, and rebirth. I think of these thoughts a lot in my mind, to a point where I want to figure out my thought process and the way it comes into my mind, and how it comes out. It can come out a number of ways. Me, I rather just watch and be introduced politely. After a good conversation with some substance or some idea of where the conversation is going, then the flood gates begin.

I wonder about life. I wonder about life's questions, riddles, and puzzles. There are times where my sanity goes into insanity. I sometimes feel lost. I sometimes feel hurt by how depressed I get at times. Sometimes when I get depressed, I wonder about how to get out of it. When things get depressing, you feel like your back is in a corner. You feel hurt by people and family. But you feel really hurt if no one is willing to understand you. I have been misunderstood a couple of times to a point were,  I was in school or through my life, nicknamed ¨mute¨. I have been called that, due to how quiet I am. When you are quiet and no one wonders, anything else, it is a nice way of telling that, you are a quiet person. I can say it for a fact. Sorry, my writing has not been the best as of late. I find that when I think of the past, it is when I look back at that mirror... and that me......

Test drive at some sculpting

 

I was feeling kind of artsy tonight so I took some of my kids modeling clay and put this guy together. It's been about 15 years since I've really sculpted anything of substance so it's not bad for my first try in 15 years.

 I find life interesting in the sense that you are not always looking for a way out of pain. When you look at pain, it is when you become more adapted to try again and again to correct what can correct. If you have no control over it, why bother with it in that sense? Sorry if I say, ¨sense¨, a lot. I have been dealing with what was a war to me involving some really deep and depressing things that no one who suit for. If you ever read something like this, you probably wonder what it would be about...

For me, it is more paranormal and also combined with reality, and the spirituality of ideas and practices, while still trying to exist in both worlds. Sometimes you feel like the work will never end and you will always be suck. You feel like an idiot even if you are one, you still are someone will to do what is needed even if it is hard for you to do what you need to do.

For me, dealing with the paranormal is like dealing with a nightmare, combined with a graveyard. It is one of those feelings or prime thoughts in your mind that makes you question who you are in term You feel like you are one, the one thinking of negative thoughts and ideas that become a lie to cover the blood and pain. It is something you try to run from until you are conditioned.

I spent the holidays in Panama. We went to this little bar called Red Ocean (because we LOVE things with the word Red in them) and on my way to the bathroom which was located in the courtyard, I saw this.  I was astonished at how beauty manifests itself, in the simplest of things.

Hello...  I can not believe I am doing this... why? Because I was told to. It all started when I was a little kid, dealing with a lot of things in their life. And I mean a lot of things. I wish people got the chance to get to know me before assuming. Most of the time, I feel not really interested in social interaction. I can not take it one bit. Oh yeah, where are my manners? My name is Elizabeth Rojas. Hello. ( Note- I do not know really want to start with except maybe the basics.

Wonder

Wonder... what is it? I have always asked myself.

Yet no matter how much I think about it,
it never seems to sort itself out.  I ponder on it,
I play with it and inquire deep within.
No matter what I do, I never seem to get to it.
