Vagabonds: Anthology of the Mad Ones Vagabonds Vol. 3 | 页面 80

Joshua Findley - My name is Joshua Findley, and I am 25 years old from
Houston, Texas. I grew up an only child raised by a single woman and for
as long as I can remember I have always had a problem with racing
thoughts, or as some would like to call it an over-active imagination. Often
times I have found it difficult to cultivate some sort of order or finite
thought process, but I have, over the years, developed ways to keep my
mind on a level plane, and it is art. You see I have always been extremely
creative in the sense of environmental adaptability, finding ways to settle
my mind and body into being comfortable, no matter where I go. Through
my love of creativity, and the way the mind works, I have come to find
other loves in Graffiti, Street Art, Abstract, Contemporary,
Retrospective, musical, and most of all writing. Writing helps me
channel whatever energy I may be feeling into something productive.
With it, I can bend time, manipulate pasts, dust off memories, or make
new ones. It's something of value and tangible to grasp on to. I can
mentally take out of my mind what I do not need, or that which is of
detriment to me, and spill it into a spiral, and put it away forever, or relive
it later if I want. In a nutshell, writing to me is how I keep my sanity in an
insane world.
