Brush Confession #5

I hope I never take for granted who or what has brought me to where I am today. But honestly, sometimes the view can be hard to remember or see. Especially when fear, guilt, sadness and doubt influences life. When I get into this kind of space, I chant my favorite mantra, “Everything is going to be alright.” And I remind myself to practice self-acceptance and trust that I am where I need to be, accepting who I am, instead of striving to be better. I am enough, exactly as I am. My heart has been feeling heavy. Releasing tears of regret, happiness, pain, and love. Learning to embrace my emotions and not shove them away. I must execute one gentle step forward into my truth. I need not to be afraid of my true self. Allowing room for gentle encouragement, and space to find the root of my emotions. Remembering who I am.
I must paint my soul. Express its tenderness and beauty through the power of color. I must not be afraid of my own pallet. I must find my inner landscape and water it back to life. I want to be awake.
