I'm a creative soul. (Soul is a funny word that I don't think anyone knows what it really means)
So, there are many times in this crazy old world when I get the urge to write a sitcom, paint life, sing a new song, dance for you, play with fire, film a short, or even blog. I start, there's rarely a middle and maybe once there has been an ending.
I'm not suggesting that endings have no worth. I mean after all I spent 4 years studying the most famous unfinshed literature this world have ever known. Endings are simply over-rated.
I thought I wanted 'Lost' to end - turns out, I didn't! When I was eleven, I was convinced I wanted Primary School to end - yeah you got it, I didn't. Ending is what we all seem to crave but are immensely scared of its arrival.
My last example could be a personal issue, but i am consistently perturbed by the concept of Eternity. I want to live forever and on the same hand it would scare me to lose any form of ending.
All of the creative 'projects' that I have started and been way too passionate about and completely naive about their completion. However, I look back on all of them and remember them with fondness and joy (Ok, joy may be strong, but it's all I had). I never once had to admit that the sitcom isn't quite good enough for Sky1, or that I'm not the undiscovered break dancer that one semi-drunk beginner B-Boy told me in a dark and dirty rock club as he attempted to break-battle me, or perform 'Snake Song' to so many audiences to realise that it isn't quite catchy enough to propel me to an appropriate level of fame where I would coincidently bump into Emma Watson at a party.
Anyway, examples aside, next time some wannabe guru preposterously advises you that everything you start must be followed through to completion. Turn around and Begin to tell them 'Start because thats...' and walk away feeling utterly satisfied.
In a bit. Love J.
