article: My week 2 entry:Risk | written down

I mulled over the idea of risk for almost a week and tried to figure out how I wanted to document it. Then on Sunday, I was flipping through the paper and saw this awesome sketch (it was actually for a Star Wars article), but it seemed to embody everything that risk is to me: dangerous, scary, forboding, dark. See the pattern, can you tell I am NOT a risk taker??? Anyway, I had to use the sketch and therefore incorporate it somehow. My journaling basically discusses the above thoughts on risk. While writing, I came to the conclusion or acceptance that it is okay to not be a risk taker, to be comfortable with who I am. Since my journal is focusing on me as an artist, I wrote how it’s okay to not be all eclectic and daring, that I don’t think you can force that. That instead, it’s just as much of a risk to be yourself. Anyway, I may still add another page, but I think I pretty much captured what I wanted to on just this one. :)

**Edit: to clarify, this is the actual sketch from the paper. I decopaged (sp?) it into my journal. Oh how I WISH I could draw/sketch like that!
