“I am a canvas, as blank as can be. I’m not filed with anything, as I have everything already in me.” -Kayla Louis
When life is filled with so much creativity and wonder, you should be too. It can be hard and relentless but it can exciting and fun too. Make life or yourself like a canvas, you may not be able to mold the foundation but what you choose to create, meaning how you choose to live your life is still entirely up to you based on the foundation and tools you were already given.
This subtle realization can sometimes be a scary one especially if you don’t know where life is taking you or you may not know how to grab it by the horns instead of it grabbing you, and that’s okay too. From what I’ve learned thus far in my short little life, is you can be both. Both the canvas with a painting already in full control or blank, in control of nothing but enjoying everything. Life is funny like that, the answers we think are right are rarely the ones we receive or expect.
And if you are that beautiful painting, there’s nothing wrong with that also, there’s nothing wrong with being well put together, knowing the direction you’re trying to take. That’s a beautiful thing. And I would tell you to keep going and see what else you can create, having a gallery of pictures that you’re ready to show the world, or silently keep to yourself, that’s all up to you. But for me, I like being that blank canvas, a source of my own inspiration and more, and you can be that too.
Stay A Blank Canvas!
