One time i was having a very beautiful conversation about life and our purpose with my yoga teacher, I was telling him about my dreams and how I think they seem impossible to me. He told me about the power of “mental ”, he told me to never stop imagining or dreaming where I want to be in the future, because “What you think, is eventually what you become”. When I was around 16 years old, I started writing in very vague forms and ways. I don’t really know why i did it, maybe to understand my own thoughts or to express myself, maybe even to fight loneliness. Honestly, I never knew I could write poetry and I never really paid attention to what I wrote.
For a few years I kept on writing and writing, I spent day and night putting down ideas on paper and it made me feel ecstasy to such a level that I cannot comprehend. After a while I got an idea to share my work with the people around me, people who could relate to me through instagram and that is how I started my page called “urdreamingfriend”.
Honestly I have never had a life-changing moment, my life for me has been like building a solid house with a proper foundation.I have had a lot of mental issues which were really hard to cope with in the start. I did not feel like getting out of bed, meeting people, socializing.. Basically hopelessness is all that I felt in that phase. I have been taking therapy right now and although everything is not completely fine but now I am able to deal with it in a better way.
Yes, I was very nervous in the beginning. But one advantage I had was that I understood that it was just the part of the process. Somehow I trained myself not to be afraid of the nervousness but to embrace it. I would say that following your art takes courage and it is not for the light hearted people, you need to have thick skin to follow your passion.
“This pain either kills you or turns you into an artist”Never stop dreaming and never stop running towards your goals even if they seem impossible because if someone else has done the same you can do it too. Even if nobody has ever done it, no one can say that you can’t be the first of your kind.
