What’s your passion?
What’s your addiction?
What do you want to let go of?
And what do you want to do more?
For me, it’s playing – acting, dancing, composing, writing music, writing poems. It’s improvising recipes playfully. Improvising situations led by the heart. Improvising next steps without knowing exactly what will come out of them. Just follow my gut feeling and my heart’s desires – sometimes messing it up. Sometimes messing it up painfully. And in the end, life wants to be lived, not rehearsed, not totally pre-planned. And certainly not played by someone else’s script. So I’d rather find out for myself: when it hurts, it was just another experience to learn from. Better to risk than not to live – at least that’s my point of view.
Almost every morning, when I don’t have an acting, coaching, or modeling gig, I write. Or rather – IT writes me.
I have to let it out. It pulls me out of bed. No plan – the structure appears while writing. Over the recent years, about 60% of what flows through me has taken the form of lyrics – either rap/hip-hop-ish or soulful and bluesy. Fascinating. That’s how creativity works: through us.
Here are some seed waiting to be planted:
Not unloved
Just unseen
Feels safe
Still Hurts
Wenn Herz und Birne
nicht zusammenpassen
ist es ganz schwer
Sinn draus zu machen
Todavia no existe
pero está de camino
no sé qué exactamente
pero que sí
(this one i invented just now – as an experiment: see what comes out in Spanish….the path is made by walking, that’s what it means….)
By the way, I write tons of song lyrics – anyone here into co-composing? Shoot me a note!
All my love,
Manuela
