Jazmin Johnson Instagram – I was thinking about how we’re born into this realm to play, create, and to love… and how, somewhere along the way, we unconsciously lose that lightness.
Maybe we confine ourselves to the wrong environments. Maybe we believe we don’t have a choice. Maybe we get hurt.
When that lightness is lost though, life becomes a different realm. For some it’s dark, for some it’s painful, for some we’ll never know. But this realm, it becomes one where the mind isn’t free, free to dream, but also free to simply be. The mind stops being an escape and turns into a different home. We start carrying weight that makes everything harder, less clear. It begins to feel like there’s no room to dream.
As a creative, you never truly stop, but I’ve experienced the trap. The one where you stop believing in your genius. Where nothing feels good enough. Where pressing the green light feels too scary, so you coast on yellow.
I don’t have a long list of New Year’s resolutions, only one. To be free enough to explore with lightness. To move through hard moments with the awareness that two things can be true at once. Challenges and blessings can coexist. You can see beauty in others and be beauty too.
I know so many friends and family experiencing loss. Loss is tragic, it’s like a painful post-it on the fridge reminding us how short this ride is. & I never really know how to show up during these times. I still mourn my grandmothers passing from 2017… This time last year my father in law went to heaven & it still doesn’t feel real.
Because it doesn’t last forever, it asks us to create, to love, and do things that make us feel alive. But not for others, for us, our soul … our life’s purpose
