It takes time.

 To all the creatives out there, no matter you are doodling on your phone or typing words after words in your computer, pushing away the guitar with frustrations, cleaning your paintbrushes for the n-th time or throwing away your fifth draft into the basket, just don’t stop. Keep doing, it takes time.

William Trevor: Happy Birthday

  William Trevor   I still remember the very first time I put on glasses.   Until then, for some time, I used to press my eyes, to see the speed signs properly on the road.   While I was reading a book, sometimes I used to bring it too close to my eyes without even knowing.   So when I went to the doctor, he gave me these glasses. And after that I found out, the world around me was not as blurry as it seemed to be!   William Trevor, is just like my new pair of glasses, with power.   Reading Trevor means I could see more. Those small letters, printed on the pages are able to paint lives with thousand of colours.   Using the same old humans of this same old earth, he tells us brand new stories.   Happy birthday, dear maestro.
