Wake Up!
Wake up! I feel like I’m asleep at the wheel, drifting through a haze of unfulfilled potential and muted colors, as if I am both the driver and the cage that confines me. I am the bars, the lock, and the key, yet I hold the power to express myself in any way that I choose. How do I shake off these self-imposed limitations? How do I step out of my comfort zone, that cocoon I’ve spun so tightly around myself?
If I’m not afraid, I have a superpower—an invincible force that can tear through the fog of doubt and hesitation. I don’t want to be afraid anymore; I yearn to escape the narrow confines of my own world of limitations. I crave a freedom that feels like the wind against my skin, unrestrained and wild, a dance to the rhythm of my own heartbeat. I need to make art that has more than diminishing returns, something that resonates, that echoes through the chambers of my soul. I want my work to be intimate and expansive, a universe unto itself, bursting with life and possibility. I want to stop talking about what I want my work to be and simply let it be whatever it needs to be—a raw, unfiltered expression of existence, unafraid of the shadows it may cast.
I crave novelty and mystery, the thrill of the unknown that sends shivers down my spine. I long for collaboration and exploration, a mingling of minds and hearts that creates a shared dream, a tapestry woven from our collective imaginations. I want creative freedom on every level, a guiding light amidst the darkness that sometimes feels so suffocating.
I will shake off the complacency that lulls me into a false sense of safety. I will embrace the discomfort, the challenge, the beautiful chaos of creation. I will breathe life into my art, letting it unfold in ways I cannot predict or control. I will find my voice again, my truth, and my place in the world as an artist. I will wake up and live, truly live, in the vibrant colors of my own experimentation and let that be the art. that sets my creativity free.
