Elecean

A name I made for myself when I created a character for an Xbox game when I was 18 years old. A combination of my two favourite things at the time - ELEphants and the oCEAN.

The name quickly became my creative alter ego. In hindsight she is the embodiment of not only creativity but who I consider to be my elusive true self.

I’ve forever been making moves towards who I want to be; I am coming home to myself. Slowly, but surely. But I’m ready to leap - I don’t need to fly, to fly is fleeting. I just want to float a few feet from the ground. Sustainable and close enough to keep sight of the ground, reality.

My spark has at times dwindled to a single ember, threatening to go out. It’s still there, and ready to be fueled again.

The blaze is coming.
