Day 57
I will create with everything I have available.
I will allow myself to be seen in my struggle, in my joy, in my honest effort toward the good life I was told I could never live.
I will allow the reactionary impulses to come as they may - as they will, and I will embrace them - because I know it comes only when I am creating truly & sharing it openly.
Day 57 was yet another day of constant interruptions from the world around me - trains, strangers outside the window, away-folk passing through in their drunken wanderings, yard work, construction work, music, cigarette smoke, neighbor’s dog pissing in the garden - but I must stop myself. I must remember the ability to create out of infinite anything, and I must remember that I did exactly that today - which made my life so, so much better.
I painted the sea today, if only for 20 minutes to remember its pattern.
I made a vlog, with no care to hide what I actually feel.
I took my frog sculpture to the pumpkin patch (and publicly filmed myself talking to it)

Here’s what I’ve learned in my breaking point these days:
I have found confidence I didn’t previously know was possible. Calm, content, and capable of seeing lightness in just about everything I was told must be heavy.
It is weird, because it is new - but it is light. It is nice. Being unafraid to role play with a clay frog in front of adults is the skill I did not know I needed, but am pleased to have acquired.
