I spent last year running from a lot of my own issues.
My greatest fault was that I lacked focus.
And I tried to blame it all on things other than myself.
2021 was one of the hardest years of my life
Before last year i had never once questioned why i do what i do and if it matters to the world
But i’d wake up and for the first time in a long time
I wouldn’t want to push my creativity.
That seemingly unlimited supply of drive that had gotten me to this point in my life had disappeared.
But it’s in those times where you fail to see your own progress
And you feel stuck for months on end
That you learn the most about yourself.
Life has a humorous way of dangling what we want in front of our faces
And using it to teach us that we’re looking in the wrong direction
every bad situation whether i walked into it, or it chose me - was delivered to help me get to where i need to be.
it’ll never be easy
But i’ll always remind myself that everything is going to be okay.
Because through everything I find peace in the fact that I made someone feel something this past year.
And that’s the point of all art right.
To make you feel something.
To make you cry
To make you smile
To make you motivated
To make you want to chase your own dreams
And not feel as alone.
Because we’re all alone in a sense
And all lonely from time to time.
I spent 365 days trying to escape the pressures that my own mind created.
But there is no pressure.
There’s no timeline to creativity.
My goal here is to make someone out there now, or years from now feel something
So in reality, nothing else should matter.
So I’ll tell myself that I have time
And that it’s okay to be a little lost.
Because When you feel like you have no time left, you probably are just at the beginning of everything.
And everything will be okay.
