Spring

Spring is one of those times of the year that always lets me know that major change is coming.

I’ve always known that the winter hushed the life of creativity in me. The cold makes me curl up and want to disappear. Although I’ve known the pattern is there, I think this year has made me realize how much it needs to be circumvented…

Very rarely have I fought for my creativity because I’ve always felt out of control in my life, so I put on shackles willingly because that’s all I’ve ever known.

As a Christian, I know God has been patient and understanding in those times. But I can’t do that anymore because of fear.

For the rest of my life, I will fight wearing the crippling mantle that’s been given to me since I was a child and trade it for myself because that’s what it has always cost me…
