I wholeheartedly embrace my whimsical and romantic view of life. This is my life, and I am crafting it precisely as I envision it.
When I was younger my mom would say to me speak as you write. She knew writing was a practice where it didn't over complicate and overwhelm myself. Its something I bring into all my days as I can be eloquent and get my opinion or creativity across with ease. Writing acts as a bridge and a gap to me activating and embracing my reality while tapping into my full potential.
While some may perceive my perspective on life and writing as naive or unconventional, I see it as a bold and liberating act of love for myself.
I am someone who flows with the natural rhythms of life. Instead of resisting, I embrace the waves and ebbs, creating space for deep expression and growth.
I refuse to confine myself to narrow thinking. I thrive on curiosity about life, yet I know that it's perfectly fine to be present in the moment, appreciating and noticing the beauty around me.
My poetic heart compels me to share my unique perspectives and things that capture my interest while challenging my own thinking.
Writing is far more than simple scribbles. It is a way of making sense of the world. It brings me inner peace and clarity as I navigate life.
Every person's journey to self-discovery is personal, but for me, writing has been the key to unlocking an imaginary door to deeper understanding and exploration.
"I wrote to find beauty and purpose, to know that love is possible and lasting and real, to see day lilies and swimming pools, loyalty and devotion, even though my eyes were closed and all that surrounded me was a darkened room. I wrote because that was who I was at the core, and if I was too damaged to walk around the block, I was lucky all the same. Once I got to my desk, once I started writing, I still believed anything was possible," Alice Hoffman said a American novelist and young-adult and children's writer, best known for her 1995 novel Practical Magic.
Some people go to art museums or exhibitions to observe the still art, I see the emotions, movement, visualize scenarios and encapsulate the expression. I make art by reading and writing. Words are my favourite type of art. Art comes in different forms.
"If you want to be a writer, you have to write every day. The consistency, the monotony, the certainty, all vagaries and passions are covered by this daily reoccurrence. Walter Mosley said is an American novelist, most widely recognized for his crime fiction.
He said "you don't go to a well once but daily. You don't skip a child's breakfast or forget to wake up in the morning. Sleep comes to you each day, and so does the muse. He has written a series of best-selling historical mysteries featuring the hard-boiled detective Easy Rawlins, a black private investigator living in the Watts neighbourhood of Los Angeles, California.
I enjoy embracing the present moment and appreciating the beauty around me. "In the most basic way, writers are defined not by the stories they tell, or their politics, or their gender, or their race, but by the words they use. Writing begins with language, and it is in that initial choosing, as one sifts through the wayward lushness of our wonderful mongrel English, that choice of vocabulary and grammar and tone, the selection on the palette, that determines who's sitting at that desk," Donald E. Westlake said was an American writer with more than one hundred novels and non-fiction books to his credit.
Writing I encourages mindfulness and presence, enabling me to connect more deeply with my surroundings and the people around me. By embracing the present, I can find joy and gratitude in the simplest moments, enriching my writing and my overall perspective on life. Ursula K. Le Guin said, "One of the functions of art is to give people the words to know their own experience… Storytelling is a tool for knowing who we are and what we want.”
Writing serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery, allowing me to delve into my thoughts and emotions with honesty and introspection.
Through the process of putting pen to paper, I can uncover hidden aspects of myself and gain a deeper understanding of my own motivations and desires. This journey of self-exploration not only enriches my personal growth but also enhances the authenticity and depth of my writing.
Mindfulness allows me to slow down and become more aware of the subtle details around me, which fuels my creativity by providing a wellspring of inspiration.
By being fully present, I can capture fleeting moments and emotions that might otherwise go unnoticed, transforming them into vivid imagery and compelling narratives. This heightened awareness enhances my ability to think outside the box, fostering unique and innovative ideas that enrich my creative work.
