A Share Space for Creative Artists

My upbringing was wonderfully creative and whimsical, in my eyes. I started dancing at the age of 6 and always dreamt of being in dance studios with point shoes and grande pianos. I'd add on the musical elemental of singing , whether it be in church choirs, in the car with my mom , or  while working through busy kitchen shifts at work. I strongly believe in the creative essence of life, knowledge, and communication. So, as you grow more and more comfortable with the art shares, resources available, and understand a little bit about me, I hope you are also able to unravel within yourself. In a safe and open manner, that uplifts your health and life satisfaction. In 2020, I was able to start a renewed journey to do so, personally. After going through life long symptoms  of behavioral issues and struggles in my adolescences to my young adulthood, I knew this was a long time coming. Once the world shut down, I took the opportunity to shut my mind down too. I was hospitalized in the spring of 2020 and was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and Personality cluster B  (bpd) upon release 10dys later.

For 4 years, I was building up my knowledge to help those afflicted with similar or indifferent mental capabilities, and for the past four years I've been working on cultivating a presence within myself. Many people have asked me of my how and my why. How I'm able to go back to school to complete my degree after failing so many courses. How I can intertwine going to the gym regularly into my schedule. How I can manage my daily schedule, balance my diet, my mind, my relationships, my everything. It got so overwhelming to think of where I begin, to only be reminded that it is to keep my mind steady and to keep my heart beating. I went into psychology because of the lack of safe adults I had to go to growing up, and a desire to be present for young one's who no one took seriously. 

I put my ideas of having a ballet studio, owning a bakery, becoming a model or anything creative in mind  to the side, because there's, "no money there", as I grew up hearing and believing. As a person raised to be independent from anyone , having financial stability to survive became a focus. Money has never been my driving force though, and even in pursuing psychology,  traditionally it takes years of educational investment to see a substantial increase. My poems , pitch dark, to be pitched back into the dark pages of my diaries. My playful and free forming choreography would turn into paint strokes. Wet enough to still get messy in, but bright enough to cover up the whats was being buried from my past. 

I've grown to understand now, the peace of mind that comes from accepting my whole self and allowing myself to persevere. Go back and pick up what I loved, to add it into what I currently love.
