Sunshine in the Sadness

Dear Me,

Sometimes in this Creative Life, you get tired. I don't know. Maybe the world is too overwhelming. Maybe you just choose to follow trails of thought that lead you to darkness, to places you forgot existed. Or maybe it just comes down to revealing something in yourself that you need to heal from. I've searched for so many books, listened or watched interviews of people I admire, talked and discussed with friends what makes us go down those paths. I don't think it's unique to the creative life, and I think we all have an inner child crying inside. We all carry some shame, we all aren't always there. That would be exhausting. I'm exhausted...

Why am I sharing this with you? Well, the world we live in now, with social media and the internet... Everything is just too pretty. Too fake. And I think we all are tired in some way or another. I want to see something different. I want to see everything. I want to experience it. After all, things get destroyed but then comes creation. So maybe putting this down on the blog, someone will read this and see that I am not perfect. You are not perfect. None of us are. It's not what it seems like. Maybe there's more to us than just our instagram profiles. I hope you show it all. Because you are beautiful in how wholesome you are. I want to see your scars. I want to see your smiles. Let's fuck it up.

Be Peace,
Kiet
