my pain reeks joy

This piece is sprouted from a time when I was in quarantine and in a very low state of mind. My family and friends had things going on in their lives so I didn’t want to burden them with how I felt. So I had kept it all in and pretended to be happy when I was far from it. When I did slightly show how I felt, I was berated for being in a mood and so I felt I didn’t have any option to be anything other than what I wasn’t. I wanted someone to realize how I felt even though I could never actually open up about it. My process behind this was writing about a marionette doll and how they are being pulled on by strings to move, and I related that to some of my feelings and how there is more beyond the surface of how it seems someone is.

Creativity for me is just a way to express myself in any form I enjoy. I love being able to speak with full freedom through art and writing. Being able to make anything in your mind come to life is just one of the best feelings in the world.
