Here is the first story created in the current issue of Artist Display Magazine !
THE TRANSFORMATION:
Looking at myself in the mirror for too long made me uncomfortable. I wanted to look away, but my mind diminished the space around me- I had no choice but to face my current reality.
How could I be so foolish? I allowed someone to staple a false name, as if they knew me once before. I remembered when I was careless, being able to escape freely without my identity; eventually, my freedom only lasted for so long- being naive enough to explore every desire without hesitation, caused a disruption within myself. I was now captured, without anyone noticing my absence. What was, has lost configuration, making me desire my core even more.
With nothing but raw space, I felt chained until transformation. The darkest parts of me were heavy as they swarmed in and created replicas of my fears; the more I sunk into myself, the most timid parts stood over me, taunting me through my destruction. Caving in was the only solution at the time. Pieces of my past were shattered around, and I could only see glimpses of left over memories that revealed the worst side of who I’ve become. However, this type of exposure into the light, inspired me to rebuild my own structure instead of allowing someone else to create the mold.
So I reached for the spread of brokenness and reconstructed the pieces into a desirable design. While I worked, my tragic memories transmuted into a new form of emotions, allowing me to get lost in the transformation and establish an elevation I never dreamed to be capable of. Being mesmerized with the journey is far more satisfying than the outcome. Once completed, I was able to look back at my process with no regrets- as a PROUD, NEWLY developed creation. Despite what I have lost, what has walked away from me with impatience, I still managed to generate the purpose of my pain- the metamorphosing through cycle after cycle to advance my growth and broaden my identity.
Now, I’ve become many things, with plenty of failures, but a plethora of accomplishments; and each time I was knocked down, I discovered clarity within the LOWER LEVELS of life in order to RISE for much more.
