Write it ~ Say it ~ Do it

Take actions to make it happen. Any dream worth having is a dream worth working for.

I had to force myself to post my art in my blog. Not because I thought it was amazing. The perfectionist in me, hid it all away in boxes for years. I did not want the world to see my flaws. I thought I would be stupid for ever thinking it could be anything other then practice doodles on a page.

I created & practiced for 2 years. Then I let myself feel conflicted like I was selfishly wasting my family’s time. Guilt took over, so I slowly packed it up & locked it away for 15 years. I looked at it often & secretly dreamed of someday.

A lot of my posts are incomplete works of practice. Unfinished, raw & full of character flaws.

I show them to you now, because I can truly see them for what they are. They are a picture of my heart, my joy, my pain, my happy, my sad, my dreams. All sadly locked in a box refusing to be freed. Afraid to try, Afraid to be judged or mocked, Afraid to fail or be loved, Afraid to live.

I give them to you now and say, judge me & join me. Open up your box of dreams. Everyone has one somewhere. Let them out, they are your heart & we are more beautiful when we let it live.
