Evolving Emotions: Sadness

December 4, 2022November 27, 2022 EKArts Leave a comment

Things get heavy and sometimes feel inescapable, like you’re drowning in a sea of thoughts or worries. Know that the sky will clear but for now, let the clouds rain.

Life is difficult most of the time. We’re all on our respective journeys, battling it out against ourselves and our circumstances. Be kind to yourself in your current state of mind.

Pain doesn’t abide by schedules or deadlines. If things need processing, they need processing. There is nothing wrong with taking the time you need to heal, whether physically or emotionally. It will all be better in its own time and on your terms.

A Wonderous Day

Sun’s rays force squinting eyes

Grass curls between tiny toes

Laughter swirling in air swept

by each cool breeze

Bubbling waters in the pond

dug by able hands

for fish and shelled creatures

to lay and unwind

Tingling hands

A shift in the air

Heads turning in unison

to the house just across the yard

Rushing past familiar beauty

towards an enthralling mystery

behind four walls

Once inside

figures crowded round

blocking view

Some gasp or shriek of glee

at a sight to behold

In the center of the circle

comes barking

Pushing past

there it is

the dog you will know

for years to come

It will touch your life

in a way only it could

But for now,

you gaze in its eyes

and marvel over this wonderous surprise

Surprise! I’m a disfigured alien sent to mildly disturb and/or befuddle you!

Whether you regard it as a blessing or a curse, life is unpredictable! Anything can happen so you might as well enjoy the ride!

I’m certain you’ve heard some variation of this: The one for you will arrive when you least expect it. If it is said enough, perhaps there is truth to it?

Life will always be filled to the brim with unexpected possibilities. Fighting the current won’t do you good, so go with the flow!

Evolving Emotions: Fear

Imposter syndrome, overthinking, and self-sabotage are among the many struggles faced by all people. When possible, take the leap and believe that you can. You are capable but must convince yourself of it for anything to be attempted and achieved.

This is the final installment of “Fear.” The topics of self-sabotage, calming reminders, and a touch of motivation are vitally important to discuss, especially in an academic context. I hope that you stay determined and chase what you want in life. You deserve it!

We’ve all been there: Hyperventilating in a corner or utterly hysterical over circumstances out of our hands. Just remember, you have lungs. So, take in some air, find some steady ground, and tread onward.

Is there a thought, goal, or dream cowering in the recesses of your mind collecting fictional dust? Perhaps taking it from the shadows and pursuing it without fear of unpleasant outcomes may be better than clogging your head with dust bunnies?

This is an assortment of pieces I created to celebrate the fall season. I hope you all have a tremendous (and equally horrifying) Halloween!
