Intro(Revamp)
ALOHA & HOWDY!!
I am full blow Polynesian Women caught up both within the modern world and one foot caught between the doors of old cultural customs and traditions. Many times I find myself at lost and then I find myself expressing myself in way that I know for myself works for me. So, in a little bit I will tell you of how I came up with my name but, for now, let tell you of myself.
I am in my birth home, surrounded with so much greenery and vegetation. Occasionally, rain cascade through the rain like a temporary visit of a quest who only came for a day or two vacation before he/she goes back into their reality of life and work. This birth place had actually opened my eyes to the possibility of finding a escape route creatively to express myself and help me tap into the positive growing and now. Due to the fact, even though my parents and grandparents would use the "You're born a Tongan, you are a Tongan girl and you have grown in Tonga so act as such"card. I prefer through my Polynesian heritage express myself in everything that outside my cultural background when I think it enter-twines together modern artistry and my cultural expression of art that is.
So, in way I am still asking myself,"Who Is Me? Who is Uinise/Uike?"."Am I just Tongan or Am I not Tongan American? A 1st generation American?" I am still trying to find myself and find love for myself through flaws and all, you know. A Millennium soul searching season is what I am experiencing.
Oops! I am so sorry for goin' that route, let me introduce you to RestlessTides. It is a name given to me by a dear friend from the proud Native tribe known as The Seminoles. Which is really befitting because I tend to carry myself in my thoughts and my thoughts tend to be restless when my mind is captured in the attention of a certain topic or feeling or event, etc. To bring it to life and release all that tension of such thoughts haunting within, I turn to a pen and a paper or a keyboard. To write everything I felt and comes to mind until the very last emotion/feeling has been fully expressed out within the last word and period that ended everything. Poems, paint, and design/drawing is how I tend to express my restlessness in simple terms.
We all are tiredly restless in our everyday with work, school. relationships and life in general that we just want to take a moment to slow down. To be in the comfort of our self-awareness of our present, for me it is that and to keep my sanity in check. So, Will you dare to join my roller-coaster of restlessness?
