Perhaps There's A Bigger Picture After All

I find myself drifting further and further away from my pen and paper these days. Floating adrift into the unknown, the farthest I've been from the person I used to be. Perhaps that is why I've gone so long without being that girl who used to write until her hands could no longer take the pain. The funny thing about that pain is that it used to fuel me. Set a fire under me that led me to write some of my most intricate and vulnerable work.

I've been searching for that fire since I lost it. I'm sure a lot of you can relate. Trying to find purpose within the chaos around you without letting it swallow you whole is quite difficult. Which is why I had to step away for a while. I had to listen. I had to breathe. I had to laugh. I had to make myself cry. I had to sit still and wait for that echo in the wind, informing me it was indeed searching for me as well.

Questions. Doubts. Information overload. I was anchoring myself into a box I wasn't meant to be in. So being the creative spirit that I am, I broke out and molded my thoughts, my space, and my energy to work for me instead of against me. I surrounded myself with energy, people, and ambiances that brought me back to a space and time when the world didn't seem so overwhelming and violent, and incredibly selfish.

That doesn't mean there isn't light, and compassion hidden beneath the rubble and darkness of this storm we're all in the middle of. If you desire change, stability, peace, you must learn how to embody it to begin with nd then share it with others. The beauty and wisdom we all hold within is what needs to be explored and dissected before we ask it of others. There's no greater magic than knowing who you are and why you came to be this way. I've learned so many things about myself during this time of soul searching. An abundance of character elevation is still left to be uncovered, and I hope you'll stick around for the ride.

With all my love,

Shar.
