Art that makes me feel alive

Art that moves me

Art that feels like lights shouting at me

Music that feels like colors

I really have no words to describe this right now. I just keep saying wow. It's all so beautiful and captivating that I don't even know what to say, and that's okay. I just keep finding more gorgeous pictures. The patterns, the details, the colors, all of it. Everything is so beautiful. As I look at pictures and listen to music that reminds me of the sea, salt, and sand, I still just feel this hole. I just want to enjoy those beautiful ocean views with someone one day. All of this is so breathtaking. I❀ART | I❀COLOUR | I❀WATER. I'm just learning that it's okay to just not say anything and have the pictures or songs speak for themselves, even though I'm speaking right now. Maybe this is more than just a dump, it's a whole MOODBOARD. ELECTRIC FEEL. It's just a mind dump, it's fragmented, it doesn't make sense but it doesn't have to make sense at all because it's still ART. Art has no limits. Creativity has no limits. The sea has no limits. The mind has no limits. Anything is possible. Nothing is out of reach. Starfish are the shooting stars of the sea. Seashells are the gems. Unique and beautiful in their own way. They all have something different to say. Colors are never the same. Do what you feel now.

I realized that I always try to make meanings out of everything. Maybe I just read into things too much. Idk. I always want to know why. I always want answers. Maybe there just aren't answers right now. Maybe I just have to practice acceptance. Practice peace. Practice letting go of things that don't serve me anymore. I hold a lot in. I have a lot of wounds. Words that people have said or things that people have done to me in the past. I hold onto them to this day. It's not fair to myself. It's not fair to carry burdens of other people. It's just not fair. I want to release. I want to practice releasing. I want to practice flow. I want to be flow. Maybe right now is just supposed to look messy and uncomfortable and weird and fragmented. This is all part of the bigger plan. Even though I don't know to let go, maybe it's okay to admit that. It's okay to be hurt by things, by mean words, by hurtful actions. It's okay. Because I'm human and I have feelings. I'm not perfect. No one is. Everyone is going through something or holding onto something. Some just carry those weights better than others. Some don't know to face it so they shove it away in hopes that it will disappear. But if it's one thing I learned, it never goes away. Even if you block it. Even if you call the other person crazy or tell them they're taking it too personal. You are the one who is limited. You are the one missing out. Your missing out on healing. Your missing out on a chance to grow. I want to grow. I want to be better. Not everyone wants that. Some people are comfortable in the ways that they treat themselves and other people. Not because they like it but because they're scared of what would happen if they change. On the other side of change is fear. Fear that you might make a fool of yourself if you dare to be different. Fear of speaking your mind. Fear of loving out loud. Fear of telling someone how you feel. Feeling is beautiful. Feeling is healing. Feeling is powerful. Feeling everything deeply. That's a skill that most people don't have. Seeing the world through rose colored glasses.
