toward our own personal style
you have to work your way through other people’s styles before you can arrive at your own.
in all others, we can see what can exist in us
and so we mimic, we imitate… through their qualities, we recognize our own potential
through continued doing, we learn more and more about ourselves
what we want, what drives us, who we are, who we want to be
and in time, and slowly, we arrive at our own personal style
it begins slowly, peaking its head out when least expected
and as our skill and proficiency grow, the barriers fall away
and that which wants to come out of us finds its way out a bit easier
and we begin to recognize our own style, and in recognizing it we foster its continued growth
and on and on and so on it goes
