RE: The road less traveled

Hi Becca! Thank you for such a nice comment. I'm glad you like my pseudonym, I selected it very carefully. Also, if you're interested, allow me to mention that the last name Óreiðudóttir doesn't really exist but it's inspired by Icelandic name compositions. It means daughter of chaos. Thank you for noticing the username!

When you said you were missing blue and then you could just paint in some good weather, that was my favorite line.

I was hoping this line would catch a few eyes. I found it an interesting and funny word-play. Life is like that, you know? We can choose to paint our days with a nice, pleasant shade of good mood and good weather. It's all about perspective.

I want to know if you think the way you write with your words flowing like art in your head because that is how it comes out on paper. Do you speak like this also? I love writing like yours.

Well, yes, I do write as I think. I wouldn't know how to do otherwise. When I write or paint, it's like opening a faucet, and I just let everything flow on the paper/canvas. Then, I review it and sometimes I omit and conceal things, to adapt the product to the crowd. Only with very few people do I talk, write, feel, paint, and express with no boundaries needed.

Becca, thank you for your words of appreciation, they mean a lot. Your comments always make me smile. And yes, please do challenge yourself when you feel the desire to do so; more often than not, our inner voice knows we need that test, and it's up to us to accept it and learn from it.

See you soon!
