Someone asked me this recently. What I would do outside obligation to others. Outside expectation of what others might want or expect from me. Just whatever might originate in the mushy meat of my creativity.
How would I make money? How would I prove myself? How would I be "good"?
Where would it take me? Is there something inside me longing to get out? Will it yank me down a path to ridicule, or will it tease me into getting lost? Will that matter?
But I'm sitting in the possibility that it might, and that I might choose to take the plunge.
