Not the rules. Not the logic. Not the shoulds.

Follow what calls you now. Your passion. Your fire. Or start by just pause. Take a deep breath. And listen.

That whisper in your chest that feels like both longing and home.

I have built my life around passion.

Not comfort. Not predictability. Not perfection. I used to do that too. I tried to control everything so i can finally feel safe. But interesting enough, I felt the safest when i followed my passions.

That kind of aliveness that stirs your blood.

The kind of truth that keeps you up at night because you know your soul is speaking.

The kind of calling that doesn’t make sense to the mind, but sets your body ablaze with knowing.

There’s a fire in me that never wanted a quiet life.

I wanted meaning.

Depth.

Expression.

The kind of freedom that lives in doing what you love so deeply, you forget time exists.

You enter that state where there’s no separation between you and what flows through you.

That is the Muse.

She doesn’t knock politely. She burns in your belly, she stings behind your eyes, she dances in your fingertips, begging to be released into the world.

Sometimes it’s through writing.

Sometimes dancing.

Sometimes love.

Sometimes creation, service, movement, voice.

But it always comes from the same place:

that sacred current of passion that reminds me I am alive.

And I listen to her now.

Because I spent too many years ignoring her.

Dimming her flame to be responsible. Good. I chose from that need of control. Perfection. Care. Fear. Worry. Too much precaution.

I’ve lived that version of myself, the one who trades magic for security,

who rationalizes everything until there’s no space for mystery.

But she was a ghost.

I was only half-alive in that version.

Always feeling anxious despite my efforts to keep me safe.

Now, I choose to be fully here. Fully lit.

I follow what moves me, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

I follow what opens my chest, softens my edges, and makes me feel the heat rise from within.

This is how I create.

This is how I love.

This is how I heal.

This is how I live now.

So if there’s a whisper inside you right now,

a spark, a wild idea, a longing, a moment of inspiration that makes your heart skip,

Follow it.

Not tomorrow. Now.

Before the world convinces you to shrink again.

Because your Muse is calling.

And she doesn’t wait forever.

Pay attention. Listen!

May you follow the fire that lives inside you.

May you trust the voice that speaks in longing and light.

May you stop waiting for permission,

and let your Muse lead you home to yourself.

May your days be touched by wonder,

your hands moved by passion,

and your soul awakened by the art only you can bring forth.

May you burn for what is true.

And may you never again dim your flame to fit a life that does not honor your fire.🔥 

With love,🤍
