finding calm after the storm
hi guys💛 i wanted to check in because it’s been a minute. after the event (i will share all about it soon), which honestly meant so much to me and really filled me up, i came home and… crashed. my body and energy just dropped. i felt foggy, tired, disconnected from myself and my art. i wasn’t expecting that at all. a part of me started spiraling like, “how am i supposed to hold space for others if i’m feeling like this?” but sitting in it helped me see something i really needed to be reminded of: being an artist isn’t about constantly creating. sometimes we’re in a season of expression, and other times we’re in a season of living, feeling, observing, or just being. and that still counts. you don’t stop being an artist just because you're quiet or resting or not posting or producing anything. you’re an artist because of who you are: the way you feel, notice, care, and move through the world. it's all a reflection of your creativity. sometimes the art is silent while you’re integrating what life is teaching you. i’m slowly reconnecting with myself and i want to come back into this space from a real place, not a forced one. thank you for being patient with me while i find my way back to center. reflection for you: what season does your creativity feel like it’s in right now? bloom, stillness, shedding, or becoming? feel free to share if it resonates. i’d love to hear where you are.
