It can be so easy to get stuck in expectations. See nothing but result. See things only within their economic or productive value.
I often fall into this trap.
Yet, what is art without the process, the playfulness, the creativity and journey?
It’s good to remind myself of this from time to time. It’s not worth losing what you love to result or expectation. And with only result, there is no possibility for happy accidents.
Keep creating. ♥️
Sometimes you can feel vulnerable and small.
Perhaps, even like nothing at all…
Yet, time will change, and time will heal,
Creating that context for all you feel.
Growing in strength, releasing from mind.
There is always peace and happiness to find.
