The lover, the madman, and the poet.

m o d e s t v a n i t y

I am a writer, a reader, an artist and a critic. I am the alpha and Omega, God and the Devil, the beggining and the end. I am a dreamer, and the creator. I will never be able to see things the way you do, and you'll never be able to understand the things I do see. Black is black, and white is white. My mind if full of gray, and the lines are blurred. Everything I write, everything I create...no matter how much work I put into it, will always be only as good as the lowest comment I hear. Other's works will always inspire me to do better, but they will still always remind myself of what I cannot do. I create worlds, and yet destroy lives. I make legends, and forget heroes. I move storms and seas, I rise mountains of gold from dust. I make choices, and I mold fate. I write from the soul, and I lie from the heart. I will still only remember the critics. I will still remember only how much I cannot do. I will still look to others better for inspiration. And I will still wish I were at their level. But I shall continue to create, if only for my own eyes.
