After a fight with someone I dearly love, I realized just how much I have changed over the past few years. The morning after battle royale, I stumbled upon my journal from five years ago. In truth, I only picked it up to examine the intricacies on the cover, a new painting inspiration brewing in my mind. The journal itself is a thick, well-bound French beauty decorated with red and yellow paradisiers. As I started to flip through it, silver strands of my own stream of consciousness hit me so hard, I had to sit cross-legged on the floor and continue.
Who is this person? She seems so happy, content, confident, and... wise.
Even during moments of pure turmoil, this woman keeps it together and writes with such optimism and spiritual intelligence, that I am actually inspired by her. I want to be like her.
Wait a minute... that was me when I was... 19?
So, I need this place to reflect on the beauty in my life that so often passes by without notice, and to capture my spiritual development and re-growth. It is my hope that I will respond to situations in my life with more calm, grace, and humility.
Yours,
Sophia
