RE: The road less traveled

in Weekend Experiences3 years ago

Her name is Eliza. I love your work and whwm I clicked on your profile to read your post for the #weekend-engagement I glanced upon your name. It does so well with your username. I love it. Had to share that bit.

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

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.

Next time @galenkp puts out a challenge, I think Iay have choose the option that makes nervous because I think we should challenge ourselves more. Well, I think I should do more r things that scare me a little. Looking at others examples is inspiring and you have inspired me. Thank you again!!!!

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.

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!
