Art Attack from the Past

Belive it or not I manage to dig up my art works from the 80's. Looking at it now makes me wonder, what on earth was I doing and thinking back then! But it also feels me with nostalgia. How innocent were we then. Life was simple and free. We werent bog down by work and responsibilities. We apporach life with eyes wide open and the most important thing in our world is friends. As we get older we encounter mistake along the way. This leave marks and scars in us. As the years goes by we started to fear the outside world. We shield our self from the outside world. We started to feel that todays world is going mad and inmoral and how we wish things were like in the old good days.

I have thought of this a lot and I find that to some extend, it is us that have close our hearts to the world. We dare not try new things for fear of rejection and failure. We believe that our ability have brought us this far and we rejected other advice and ideas. We no longer see the world with eyes wide open. Our hearts fail to explore anymore. We lost the ability to trust unless someone proves it. Did we ask our childhood friends for proves? I dont think so.

And so looking at this drawings now makes me realized I need to trust again. I need to do things with the innocent of a child. I will encounter love and hurt again but I know years from now I will look back and cherish all of it with a smile like I am now with these drawings.
