I've been depressed. I tend to go through phases of depression for months at a time. Usually, the outcome is worthwhile because when I get into this mode I question everything and search for answers. As a result, this 'self-evaluation' process provides me with inspiration for my work.

It's almost as if when I am exhausted conceptually with my work I become emotionally and physically exhausted. I have so many ideas for my work, which can be a problem because they mostly never come into fruition. I think a lot. Sometimes it's hard for me to express how I am feeling, or to translate my ideas into something that I can present visually.

Ultimately, I think I have a problem expressing how I feel to others. I've been told I need to be more forward, or aggressive, but that's just not how I work. I'm not sure how to resolve this 'issue'.

At the end of the day, all I want is to share my inspiration and passion with someone who cares.
