Ever since I have been writing more and working on this
blog, I have noticed a shift in my universe. This began in the spring as a
change in perception. I had completed a draft of my novel and felt my creativity
start to bloom as I started a new story. I painted for the first time in years,
and if nothing else, it was liberating and magical because my friend and I had
our little canvases set up side by side as we chatted. Being with her again
after a couple of years reminded me of my strength and the power that I can
create with my words when I believe in them, and rekindled the parts of my imagination
I had so desperately missed.
It’s easy to fall into writer’s block when the world is
so still around you. You create a routine around your boredom and find your
imagination blocked. What you don’t realize is that you are probably the one
who’s blocking it. This is the year I sensed that everything would be different,
even though it seemed impossible on January 1st. Half way into the year, I’m finally on my way
in progressing with my career, I had the chance to spend several days with one
of my best friends who I hadn’t seen in two years, and my favourite band is coming to my city
after 15 years of wishing and dreaming. It really is true that the more you
invest in life, the more life gives back to you.
If you want to turn things around, you need to start by
trusting yourself. I know it’s never easy, especially the longer you have to
struggle, but it’s worth it in the end and I am remind of this time and time
again. Somehow, I find my way through the obstacles in my path. I’ve learned to
be resourceful in many different ways over the years, and I have to say it has
served me well. So on this Wednesday, I leave you with what I hope will be
sound advice in your lives: to believe more, do more, and be more.
