How Your Darkest Moments Can Bring Your Greatest Rise

I'm starting this project as my come-back from one of the greatest emotional falls I have experienced in a long while, and as a help guide to one of the most intense global years of the era. If you find yourself here, I am sure there is a reason. I hope that these thoughts and lessons I've learned can help on your personal journey, and if not, at least this helps mine.

It was only when I let go of the fear of how people would perceive my drawings, that I began to be able to draw. That same itching fear, often named as the spiritual antagonist, ego, kept me from writing all year. It's the fear of crowd-perception that paralyzes you. What if they laugh and tease you? What if they don't like it?

Who cares?

If you love something - you love how it makes you feel - and if it doesn't hurt anyone, well, then do it for you! I am constantly amazed by how much this perception shifts my reality, and I am just as consistently amazed at how many times I have to break this cycle. This outrageous year has certainly brought that to light.

It surprised me how much this year affected me. I had to deal with negative cycles, thoughts, friend and family issues, etc. that I had been so sure I left in the past. Upon reflection, both spiritually and psychologically, I am diving into these issues and why they are coming up. If that interests you, I hope this blog helps you in some way.
