My gift is the ability to turn pain into art. I’m going to speak confidence over the work I create, since these are my words and pain that I am turning into art.
It is important that we realize that anything we release, create, think of, is a form of art. Whatever we produce is a depiction of what we are going through now or went through in the past. Sometimes when we turn pain into art, it allows those around us the opportunity to finally understand or get insight of what we may be going through internally. But that’s only if you share it with them. I’m not at that point in my life where I feel comfortable sharing, but maybe someday. So for now anonymous it is.
For me turning my pain into art helps me understand all of the things I went through in life, and honestly it helped me realize that there was a lot I was going through mentally as a child that I believe children shouldn’t go through. Plus it allowed me to see where I made stupid mistakes a kid and repent for them.
Something as simple as journaling helped me channel my curiosity and pain. Yes I may have went through things as a child, but now it’s up to me to grow.
