What’s on My Mind & How to Get It Out

Some weeks, the words come effortlessly. They rush in faster than I can write them down, ideas swirling around me, eager to take shape. But this week, there has been a haze—a fog that won’t lift, no matter how hard I try to clear it.

What I’ve come to realize is that when I’m kinder to myself, when I’m gentler with my own process, I can relax enough to let life unfold instead of trying to force it. When I trust that I am exactly where I’m meant to be in this moment, life doesn’t just feel more manageable—it becomes more enjoyable. And eventually, the words come.

In writing this, I’ve recognized a familiar pattern: whenever I go through change or transition, I feel this same sense of stagnation. The hardest thing for me is to be still when I feel uncertain, yet paradoxically, stillness is exactly what I need.

When the words don’t come easily, the best thing I can do is write anyway—to keep writing until clarity finds me. It’s good for me to travel, to surround myself with friends, but it’s equally important to find my own center. To spend time alone. To sit, breathe, and listen to my own heart—which inevitably knows exactly where to guide me. When I do that, creativity opens up again. The words return.

I hear from so many of you that my writing resonates, that it has helped you, or simply made you feel less alone. I want you to know that writing this has helped me too. I’ve said before that nothing feels real to me until I write it down. Sharing my thoughts doesn’t just give them form—it forces me to work through them more deeply than I would if they remained unspoken. My ideas become something more than fleeting thoughts; they transform into tangible wishes, into dreams that suddenly feel possible.

Whether it’s fine art, poetry, jewelry, or these newsletters, I feel incredibly grateful to have an outlet to share what’s on my mind. And I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being here, for reading, for listening.
