This past summer wasn’t just another season for me. Slowing down touched every layer of my world, from the way I create to the way I see and move through my days.
In August, I stepped away from everything for a while. No plans, no deadlines. I needed to pause… I have learned my limits the hard way (as many times before), but this time I decided to listen to myself, no matter what it takes. The world was loud, and I needed silence.
Going back to the roots and staying there until I figure out things, until I hear myself clearly. Not to hide, but to restore and listen to what wants to grow… I wanted to let out a truer form of my creative world.
Over the years, I have changed, grown, and softened. My brand needed to grow with me, to show who I am without the frames I built around it years ago. I want to let it breathe and reflect the life I actually live. I realised I had been holding myself back in my creativity, in how I showed my world, my brand became smaller than what I truly carry inside.
I moved into a bigger studio in February, and it felt like my dreams finally had room to stretch their wings. I could finally breathe. Now, everything I do feels a little different. The world inside me grew even wider, and I needed to bring this out, to let everything align truly, with no fear.. . Summer has turned into fall, and everything in nature is changing. This year, I’ve felt this transition very deeply, I’m shedding the old leaves too.
Everything alive needs a quiet underground season before it grows again in a new form.
These are some of my reflections from late summer notes.
Writing helps for things to settle.
