Untitled (Trauma Triggers)

Through Mindfulness, breathwork, curiosity, and patience we can guide ourselves and others to a place where we can connect our understanding. I often feel broken, lonely and lost, but I continue on down this path, and sometimes questioning whether my sacrifices and mishandling of situations was worth it for the growth of myself and my art. The first Time I dropped out of college was because I had felt I had the skill and knowledge of the tools for creativity, but was lacking experience and substance to draw from, so I Traveled the world to fill my soul with connections, insight and observations. Along this Journey I experienced Love, fear, compassion, hurt, and community, while attempting to stay humble and absorb as much through self education as I could, all with the mission to pour my findings into my work. Today I feel I am still stumbling down this road of experience, but now I harbor scars and Trauma as well as faith and compassion. With feelings of unworthiness and self doubt and an ability to be calm and present, I continue to process my discoveries through art, and a desire to make sure those around me are also mindful of the path we share and be conscious of what we might harbor within our hearts and minds, and what little it can take to set ourselves off. It might not be our fault, but is our responsibility to be aware and honor that which has effected us and those we care about.
