This year has been eye opening for me. It started off bad, took a turn for the worse, and now I’m left with disheartening views and such a bitter feeling toward this country and the people living in it. It’s unfortunate but everything happens for a reason.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I usually speak my mind no matter what. Always. But lately I’ve been taking a step back a bit to observe what’s going on around me. Seeing with my own eyes how people are treating others and how they use words to sadly show their true colors. The lack of understanding and empathy out there is pretty sad. And I don’t want any part of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I tell myself, this is NOT okay. This is NOT fine. So I tune it out because I can’t have that crap in my life. I know I cannot change the world. But I can create how I want my life to be by living MY truth. And in doing that I release positive energy into the world around me. That is how you birth change.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My happiness allows more love and kindness to bloom around me. And isn’t that what we need most? Personally, I am so over a lot of shit going on in the world. But all I can do is move forward because life doesn’t just stop. We can pause for a bit to rest… but we must get back up. Nothing changes if you stand still too long. And change is essential.

We all need a little isolation from time to time. It’s good for the soul to go inward and give yourself the space to just be. Now is a good time to do just that. This current situation is bringing a lot of issues to light. And it’s certainly a time to be aware. I believe there is much more to this virus and although it’s hard for some, we must not let it drag us down. We all need to be strong, brave and resilient to come out on top. And the one thing that will allow each of us to do that is to be fearless. The fear I see people expressing is what I’m most worried about and it’s the one thing that will destroy us all. Don’t let anyone or anything push you to live in fear. Because it will eventually crush you and make the situation much worse, for everyone. I refuse to let fear control me. The only thing I can do is adjust my flow and be positive. As long as I keep moving forward I will be fine. And life does go on. It may feel like the twilight zone right now but underneath it all change is being birthed from the madness. So be strong and focus on the good things in your life. Enjoy your days as best you can. Reach out to nature for support. Stop inviting negativity, lies and sadness in your space. Never mind the stories. It’s enough. Be the light the world needs… and we will get through this just fine ✨

This truly resonates with me because as long as I can remember I felt an urge to create. Anything really. The arts just happened to be the true connection I had with the people around me. It enabled me to express myself in ways that were necessary. Whether it was drawing, capturing my vision through a lens, writing and playing music, digital design, creating unique spaces, collage, putting my thoughts and feelings on paper, or painting… I dove in and opened myself up to theworld. Creating was something I was born to do. It keeps me alive. It gives me purpose. The desire that fuels the fire within me will never fade. It’s just not possible. I simply cannot imagine who I would be without it. So I honor the gifts I hold and spread as much beauty as I can. I’m just so grateful.

Imagine That

Oh how I love this quote. We have the power to make shit happen. To dream up a life we feel is worth living and then creating it. To imagine days that bring joy and happiness and manifesting that reality. Allow yourself to shine how you deserve. Live the life you want to live. Imagine it and make it come alive. Only you can do it. So get moving.
