Writer

"A lot of people feel like they need some kind of permission to be called a writer. (...) 

A writer is a person who can see through all this negativity and still feel passionate about writing. 

A writer wants to write and wants to figure out ways to make writing more a part of his life. There are some writers that are financially successful and others who haven't made a dime, but they are all still writers. (...)

If you have the desire to write and you can give yourself the permission to have this passion in your life then you are a writer."

On My Way

"My words are wrapped in barb wire

My actions speak for what I can't say

'Cause I fall one step forward 

To push you away, push you away 

I wish that I could listen

To all the advice that I give away 

But it's hard to see things clearly 

Through all of the pain, all of the pain 

I'm caught in the rain, caught in the rain 

And my heart's too drunk to drive

I should stay away from you, tonight

But in this blacked out state of mind

Baby, all I want is you, tonight

When my head tells me no, my heart tells me go slow 

I'm hitting the road 'cause I 

I know my heart's too drunk to drive 

But I'm on my way to you

Yeah, I'm on my way to you. 

There's a million voices

Screaming that this love's a dead end road 

But the only voice that I hear is telling me go, telling me go

The sun is rising sober 

While passion fades and I'm on my own 

My helpless heart's hungover

I'm all out of hope, all out of hope 

(...)

And no wise words can stop me 

I'm passed the point of no return 

No matter how it hurts me 

I'm running to you, running to you.

And my heart's too drunk to drive

I should stay away from you, tonight

But in this blacked out state of mind

Baby, all I want is you, tonight

When my head tells me no, my heart tells me go slow 

I'm hitting the road 'cause I 

I know my heart's too drunk to drive 

But I'm on my way to you

Yeah, I'm on my way to you."

# Letter from my future self to my current self

Dear Diana,

I'm writing to you "today" so you'll remember what you promised so many years ago when life was so much easier. You said that you would always be true to yourself. Now you know that is not that easy to fulfill, right?

You're an adult now and life has become so much harder and much more challenging. I know you have been through a lot lately. So many decisions that you have to make and everyone around you trying to tell you what to do, what's best for you.

Now let me tell you something. The only person who will ever know what is best for yourself is you. Only you. When you have to make these decisions, please remember that your opinion is the one that matters most.

Always follow your instincts and your heart. I can promise you they will get you where you are supposed to be. If you never forget the advice that I'm giving you, you will go through a path that will take you to the goal that you most want to achieve in life: to be authentic.

I'm not telling you that is not going to be difficult, but you will make it.

Be yourself. There's no one quite like you. 

Love,

Diana
