A lot can change in two years.
In my final year of high school I succumbed to the advice of
those around me. I sentenced my creative being to the depths of my heart, so
that my mind would not wander from the subjects I needed to master. But even
as I fought the fledgling ideas that refused to be quietened, I never succeeded
in hiding my creative side. This portal to my brain may have been silent though
I never stopped writing. I have files of blog posts I wrote but never published,
because of others’ words that I started repeating to myself.
I now know that ignoring my creative side because I had to
“minimize the distractions” was counter-intuitive. I spent more time suppressing
thoughts than it would have taken to ponder them. However, I have emerged from
this time of reflection with more wisdom to share with the world. I hope you
enjoyed my time of hibernation because now I’m back and ready to open the minds
of my readers.
