I just had the most amazing, heartbreaking, fantastic sad and complicated dream of my life.
I've been sitting here and processing it.. trying to figure it out. I think I understand now. Every life, existence and adventure reaches an end. Sometimes when we want, but more often when we least want it to. But after it ends, we move on to a new adventure. Life is a series of adventures starting and stopping. Don't get caught up on the one that past, take on this new adventure. If you're meant to return to a past world, you will.

An invitation to the Worry Wall Project celebration of inspiration event tomorrow 9/11
Hellos Neighbors!
My name is Matt Nahoum and I’m a fellow LIC artist and I’d like to personally invite you all to a project I’m collaborating on called the Worry Wall Project at the 112 Greene Street Studio (http://www.112greene.com/) in Soho.
The Worry Wall Project
Visualizing Vocalizing and Collecting the worries of the world. The Worry Wall Project takes WORRIES and uses them to fuel and inspire art and music
The Worry Wall Project has come together to provide an outlet for people to release and alleviate their worries. We will create a movement of awareness and foster a network of motivated people that understand we all have worries.
The Worry Wall Project was thought of and founded by photographer Becky Yee. The Beaty Brothers are using this project as a platform for their second album and are currently working to take the worry wall all across the nation and eventually world.
Through a participatory art and music event, people admit and express their worries. Making their worries a tangible physical item in the form of a wall/art installation participants vocalize and visualize their worries.
The music performance will create a buffer from the worries and inspire people to remember the resilience of the human spirit that is able to endure and survive anything. The music will encourage participants enjoy and live in the moment and to separate themselves from the wall and thus leaving their worries behind on the wall so they can live a more peaceful life.
Please follow the link to learn more.

Please bear with me, www.mattsrabbit.com is having technical difficulties
Apparently, my personal portfolio website has been hacked and flagged by Google. I've removed any malware in the site's code, but I'm still having issues with Google. I'm going to wipe the site clean, and re-upload the content, but it may take a couple of days. So thanks for your patience. If you are interested in seeing my work and the site is not running, please contact me and I'll personally make sure you get what ever you need.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
Thanks in advance,

I wish I would have said things like this to you. Then lived up to every breath I uttered..
I wish I could do better by you,
Cos that's what you deserve.
You sacrifice so much of your life,
In order for this to work.
While I'm off chasing my own dreams,
Sailing around the world,
Please know that I'm yours to keep,
My beautiful girl.
And when you cry a piece of my heart dies,
Knowing that I may have been the cause,
If you were to leave, fulfill someone elses dreams,
I think I might totally be lost.
But you don't ask for no diamond rings,
No delicate string of pearls,
That's why I wrote this song to sing,
My beautiful girl
-City and Colour, Beautiful Girl.

From "A Return to Self
It is true that many creative people fail to make mature personal relationships, and some are extremely isolated. It is also true that in some instances, trauma, in the shape of early separation or bereavement, has steered the potential creative person toward developing aspects of his personality which can find fulfillment in comparative isolation. But this does not mean that solitary, creative pursuits are themselves pathological.
[A]voidance behavior is a response designed to protect the infant from behavioral disorganization. If we transfer this concept to adult life, we can see that an avoidant infant might very well develop into a person whose principal need was to find some kind of meaning and order in life which was not entirely, or even chiefly, dependent upon interpersonal relationships.
