you have to remember how to perceive yourself as a child in order to become very aware of yourself.

and for some reason, dragons are very very important.

white people fear dragons but chinese people revere them as beautiful creatures who give them great power.

going back to asia was like being reminded of where I come from, and the strange, mystic and poetic ways eastern culture experiences the soul.

i decided, i want to embody the dragon.

more and more, it's starting to feel like i'm not fitting in here. venus and mars aren't wars of gender, they're wars of feelings. the safety of being submissive or the courage to expand and become great. of hiding or revealing who you are. today in acting class, i asked them why it was easier as a reader to get into something that's a man writing 1st person through a female character, versus a woman writing 1st person through a male character. they're the most willing to explore the deeper elements of these questions so they just agreed that it's easier to read the former rather than the latter.

dragons are mars. they're the cold, cold representation of mars, a hot blue flame.
