A Blossoming Spirit

Ever felt like you’ve lost that spark within you – buried under the weight of the routines or major life transitions?

In the past, I’ve found myself in situations where I thought I lost my cherished belongings. I panicked about it for a while, then gave up on the idea that they were gone forever.

Whether it was forgetting my suitcase at the airport security check and only remembering it on reaching the terminal; losing my favourite pair of glasses, or misplacing a beautiful pair of earrings that I received as a gift. I felt sadness, frustration, and hopelessness.

Yet, in each instance, I found them again- my suitcase was still at the security checkpoint (yes a miracle), my beloved glasses were safely kept in a drawer and so were the beautiful earrings.

Reflecting on this, I realize the immense joy I felt when I got them back. Losing them reminded me just how much they meant. And I’ve felt the same way about the spark inside me. Over the past few years, I’ve missed a version of myself. It felt like I had lost her. But this moment that I share with you, is proof that she is still here. The only step — is to do what I want to do.

If you have read this far and connected with my story, be proud of yourself. Even, if you’re taking a break and giving yourself the time that you need. You can always come back stronger when you are ready because you just have to reignite the spark – childlike, curious to experience the world, letting art flow through you or conquering your fears.
