Let your inner self shine

Shine from within, acrylic on wood 

This started out so different. It started with a thought about the misinformation everywhere about menstruation cycles. The first thing we see as girls is information that is not always that helpful.

From the overeating is okey, to the yelling and screaming is just what it is. It’s out of your control. I don’t think that way anymore.

I admit I do fall for this rollercoaster at times. But I think it is better to show what is actually needed for your well-being. Hormones can drive you crazy, but if you listen to your body you can catch yourself going that direction.

I do feel pain, I do feel rushes of emotions, I do feel more triggered, but it doesn’t give me any reason to go crazy if I can sense it coming. Of course I do let it all out sometimes. That’s okay and still I don’t ever want to say that’s all I can do.

This is a spiritual experience for me. The cycle can bring me back to life in my body.

As the weeks went by, I started to think about other things the vision could represent. The beauty inside of a person. The light and dark. The moments that shape us, the moments we let ourselves be shaped. Our thoughts and actions. Our perception of life. Life is personal and wide. But no matter what, there is light inside of you. There is love in you. There is so much that I can not even put into words.

So I painted with all this in mind and it came to life. 

Let it all out

All of your love. You may shine. Flow through your life. Feel your emotions and let them go. Moments of life can teach, can tell, can speak to you. Do you listen? Do you dare? Whatever you feel, see or experience, your heart remains full of light and love. We need rain like flowers to bloom. We need sun to shine. But from within we can always shine. Our inner self is pure and full of love. Let it out. Let it be seen.

Thank you for staying.
