*Wash away your ego and let the current take you farther than you could ever imagine.* After a stress-filled day at work, and an even stressful encounter from an earthquake came a realization I only got to value today. In life, we tend to undergo this constant push and pull between being in control and wanting to be free. And to no surprise, I’ve always preferred the former than the latter. Maybe it’s ego, maybe it’s just preference, but regardless of what our cry for that control is, we cannot always have our way every single time—just like the events from today. As I sat under my office desk while the ground moved from side to side, I realized how limited our time truly is and how unpredictable the paths of our lives are no matter how hard we try to control them. I don’t know what had gotten into me but as soon as I was home safely, I had the strongest urge to create something. I haven’t felt this way for a long time. Whatever it was, however it would look, I knew I just had to make something. It all happened so fast. I scoured through my old box of paint and brought out some brushes with the thought of just painting my heart out. I couldn’t find a canvas so I just grabbed whatever I could as a surface for my pigments and ended up painting over my old phone case. Layer after layer, stroke after stroke, I just let the moment take over me—like waves crashing and flowing. It may not be perfect, but this was a nice way for me to cleanse my worries away. Good night and stay safe!
