Surviving...as an Artist by Ashley Hanna

Posted on May 19, 2010

It would seem my friends that it is time for a change. I have really been struggling with somethings. I really can’t give details…It would only deepen my problems. I have always been told I am too nice. And now it seems it is possible that I can get in trouble for this. Maybe I live in my own world too much. But haven’t almost all artists through-out history been different!? Haven’t they been misunderstood? I feel alone, I feel like my voice is being choked out? My heart is so heavy….It is something that I can’t control. And I have no idea what the outcome will be. Perhaps I will get lucky and everything will be okay. Like a storm…it comes it turns everything upside down! Even destroys the strongest structures….Afterward you must rebuild.
I’ll let the storm pass, and can hopefully rebuild.

-Thanks for taking the time to read.

    I know what you are talking about. Ashley, there are human beings and then there is the rest. You are a human being. I love you daughter! xoxo

  • Ashley Hanna:

    You are right I am a HUMAN! I have a soul! I need to always stay true to my heart and if “THEY” don’t like well to damn bad!

    Don’t know the issue, but take no shit from anyone ! And if it is you giving yourself shit, DON"T
    You can borrow my megaphone if you want to get it out !!!! xoxox

  • Ashley Hanna:

    Yes Gregory it is outside forces! I am my biggest fan! LOL I don’t give a shit what “THEY” think, but I do find myself getting so frustrated about what they are capable of, the control they have…it makes me sick,angry,mad whatever you want to call it! I just can’t give them anymore of myself. I want it to stop. But how…pass me the megaphone…I’ve got a hell of a lot to say my friend! I am SICK OF THE POWERS THAT BE!!!!!!! F#@K ’em!!!!

    Do not change yourself to please others, honor your true being and frankly, f#$k those who want to choke your voice! I’m with your mom on this one, you are a Human Being and don’t ever forget it.

    My own mother’s favorite saying that runs pretty much daily (sometimes hourly!) through my mind – “this too shall pass”. Hang on girl and in the meantime lean on your champions.

  • Ashley Hanna:

    Thanks you very much Jenny! I say,“This too shall pass” at least three times a day, if not more. It has got me through some bad times. Buddha was wise in those words! : ) I do have some great people to lean on…xo
