Only the real shit is going to last all that other bullshit is here today gone tomorrow.

“You can choose to chase he feeling that causes your pupils to dilate and blood to rush powerfully through your veins, or you can choose to ignore your passions and dull your senses. You can take the road less traveled and live the life you truly desire, or you can choose to be another brick in the wall. Choice is yours”

The Pain of Growth + Finding Purpose.

I stumbled upon an amazing question a week ago before embarking on a soul-searching hiatus/journey in order to distill my artistic/personal purpose. It is one worth taking the time to ask yourself, especially as an artist. 

“Which do you want: The pain of staying where you are or the pain of growth?”

The question not only embodies my current set of objectives for this year but also the pivotal point in my life as of now (where the uncomfortable decisions must be made in order to progress).

In a literal sense, I have absolutely no intention of staying where I am. The world is an expanse of undiscovered territory for me, ripe with knowledge and inspiration. As an artist, I must travel and experience new things and learn from new people. I must find an art community to call home or find a place where I can cultivate one. In a metaphorical sense, every aspect of me must improve this year, even if some areas only improve by small increments. Growth is imperative. I hunger for it. The most striking element of the question, though, is the lack of choice. An ultimatum. 

The constant replaying of the question in my head since I stumbled on it, triggered me to dwell on personal purpose as well as a plan of action. 

The small flame that once struggled to stay alive within my soul is passionately growing by the minute. Each day, I discover a different piece to the puzzle of what I was meant to do. What I was meant to contribute to my niche and to the world. The work never stops. The eureka moment is approaching. 

My shifts in subject matter, my current audience, my recent ideas and my dreams (old and new), my missteps and successes…All seemingly just a scattered array of occurrences now appear to be aligning into formation. 

A young black woman living purposefully is a force to be reckoned with.
