My self indulgence cover letter

I wrote something today while keeping quiet beside Bird, trying to read. And perhaps Bird is right. I just have to talk and when I cant talk to Bird. I quietly talk to myself and hence for almost everytime I try to keep quiet n read beside Bird. I ended up writing. haha
so here's a little indulgence:

Wrote this while reading a book by Seth Godin titled we r all weird.. And also inspired by my conversation with my bro last night. Its a little edgy, self centered n funny but who knows maybe this is just what people want to fall in love with haha. This maybe some sort of self indulgence but seriously feels great doing it! Hahaha n who knows really hehe n I certainly apply what I learn from Steve jobs: repeat ur key point 3 times. Start, middle and end. Hahahaha in this case "I'm a designer"

I'm a designer. I don't believe in accumulating a portfolio of works to exhibit. Neither do I believe in the over rated term ;"unique idea".  To put it simply, I believe in what works.

Ideas don't have to be unique. They just need to click; to tell a story that people would not just believe but can't wait to share. This is what makes me a designer.

I'm not an artist. Don't get me wrong. I have great respect for artists and a lover for arts. Art is created to be appreciated. And I sincerely do. But I love design more.

 Life is short and like it or not; I'm not born with very good patience. So instead of waiting for a passerby to appreciate my work. Maybe one in a hundred or a thousand. I take the practical approach; I make some noise, I talk to people and share with them how they could get things done n have a group of followers and be appreciated.

Is my approach unique? You would be too good to be fooled if u say yes. No. It isn't. But the truth is everyone love to be connected and appreciated.

Am I trying to be different?

Nope. On contrary, i'm just being ordinary. All I did was reach out to people. To share with them how ordinary  I'm and how much I can relate to them so much so that I can offer my understanding to provide ideas and solution to their challenges.

I'm a designer. I design this letter with love n truth.
