Man is free at the moment he wishes to be
-Voltaire
Our greatest enemy, combatant, nemesis, is no farther than a look in the mirror. I have been in my own way my entire life, tripping myself at nearly every step. To truly be free is to be free of ourselves. To stop holding ourselves back and being afraid of who we are. We have everything inside of us to let go and pour forth out the art and creativity that is blossoming inside of us. To distill these chains and barriers we put up that hold us back from our true potential.
This past week I tasted a small bit of that freedom. It was so sweetly empowering. To behold just the beginning or basis of what I can accomplish when I am out of my own way. To witness the person I can truly become if I can let go and reach out and in and pour forth unadulterated what is truly in my soul. There is a deeper connection formed to everything. Everything changes, all outlook and thoughts.
There are things I must shed and it is hard but it becomes easier when looking at what this freedom begins to shed light on. Darkness and light intertwine into a beautiful palette of colours. Something that we wished to hide can be the defining colour that brings everything to life. There is no going back after this; a new fire emerges, the passion intensifies. This is how we know that we cannot do anything else; it permeates every thought and essence of life we live.
I would be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t scared. I have so many fears and vulnerabilities that fill every nook and cranny of my mind and so many questions. I cannot answer 2% of them and all I know is I have to go up and infuse myself into a role and express them all there. I just wish to be free and fly among the stars.
