YOUR EXPRESSION IS REQUIRED IN THIS WORLD!

A great teacher needs to share their knowledge, A dancer needs to feel the music and have it move through them, A musician needs to bring their emotions to life through voice or instrument, A writer needs to let all the words inside of them out to make sense of the world, A cook needs to experiment with flavours, textures and share their rewards with others, A painter needs to feel the brush dance across the canvas and bring their minds image to life. An actor needs to stand on stage and step into character to explore all the personalities that may lay within them. Every single one of them have a need to express and to explore themselves. We all have something inside of us that requires expression, that requires us to explore more of ourselves. We are expressive humans who hold back for way too long, forever sometimes. Imagine if the author didn't write your favourite book, The musician, your favourite song, The cook, your favourite recipe that you now share with those you love... Imagine what the would would be like if we had no one express themselves. You see your expression is required in this world, There are people waiting for you to step on stage to share your art, your joy, your passion so they too can experience it for themselves. It's your art that will make the world a better place for another. Your art is for you, yes...but it is more than that, it is bigger than that, it is bigger than you. Your art, whatever that is for you, is here to add value to more people and their lives as well as your own. You just have to be willing to see it as a gift, be willing to share it and put all that's holding you back in the backseat. Whatever it is that you can't stop thinking about, That is naturally a part of your days, weeks, years, That you research, absorb, acknowledge, are aware of, This may just be your thing, your art. It may not be what you think is art...but art is anything and everything that is an expression of you, that is another part of you that you just can't not do. That never leaves you, that always returns to you, that when you do it, it brings an energy that is unexplainable. It's a vibe you just can't fake, so stop ignoring what is asking you to step forward on. It has taken me many years to get clear on my gifts, many, but I started the moment I got the word from woowooland haha to begin photography, and well, as you all know thats taken me on one massive in and out journey to narrow in on things. I've found my way in writing just by letting what was inside of me out...but I've had my many challenges with this part of me too at times, struggling to put two sentences together at one stage in life. I've had to learn to trust my inner self and auto-correct. My ability to have those who stand in front of my camera feel at ease, to open up and trust me to really see them in a light they may not have seen for themselves yet. My gift in seeing other peoples talents and gifts and all that they could do with it...pours out of me like it was my own. We all have a gift or many and when we start to use them, blend them together at times, it can be, will be, is, messy as you explore it all to find a way that works for you. Take parts of all you know from different areas or your life experiences and see what makes you damn special and make it a part of your life. Just start, right now, where you are!
