#reverb10 Prompt: Everything’s OK. What was the best moment that could serve as proof that everything is going to be alright? And how will you incorporate that discovery into the year ahead?
The best moment for me was at the end of November, while working on developing self-acceptance, I recorded in my journal that the real me is being held captive; wrapped up in bramble bushes and barbed wire, in the form of labels, judgments, fears and guilt and that I need to push these things out of the way in order to experience my true self.
I closed my eyes and a vivid picture came to me of darkness surrounding an object wrapped in barbed wire with a light inside shining through the gaps between the wire and bushes. Inside was a young girl peeping out. It felt so real.
At that moment I knew that I had to free my inner child to play and explore. The freedom that I have given myself is what I’ll be using to propel me forward to practice my art in the coming year.
