I am a sculptor too, or at least trying to be or having to be a sculptor, as my need to be one are both stringent and crucial for my own survival. Sometimes I do not know what I really want to be but often I feel I just want to be me - what I truly am. What is the big deal then? I ask. This should not be that hard, or matter so much fuss among my folks. The life, you see, does not have answer to all our questions, or I would rather say that we do not see answers to all our questions even when they right in front of us under our noses. The meanings of life are often encased or even entombed in layer upon layer of stuff that we have to peel away.

You say you live in London and I live in Birmingham. It is very hard to sculpt here in this city so ambitious to project itself as a modern cosmopolitan centre of this country. The civic pride is booming as new statues are being used to express culture heritage and the vision of the city whereas the old ones are being renovated and polished.

But my personal life is quite uniquely strange. I am like living in a block of stone the grain of which I have not known full yet. I am trying to sculpt myself out of this marvellous piece of stone you see. The problem is that I cannot just break it all open for then I will be lost myself with it, and neither can I allow anyone else to try to hammer me out of this non-artistically. Only an artisan sculptor can do this but the problem is that no one can reach me to measure me up and out of my encasement and I cannot reach anyone outside either. So I will have to do this all on my own. It has been a long time since I am here, and at times I almost forget the difference between the stone and my flesh. I have a self-image that I have carved over many years in my mind. I believe I look like a Greek god inside - all beautiful, elegant, graceful and a paragon in human form. But some other times I fear. I fear I might turn out to be not as good as I think, and therefore it would be better for me if I stay hidden inside the secure confines of my stone – my shelter in wind and rain. But then I think to myself - I you don’t try you would never know. One must try oneself out, at least once in life.

Damm simplyshahid, you really got to stop over thinking things. Good luck with your struggle though.
I am a sculptor, what do you need sculpting??
