I felt this on so many levels as a creative. The internal conflict of holding the things I love most so close, but feeling like I “have” to share them publicly so people know what I’m doing. Being blessed with many gifts while trying to make room for them all.
I’m still figuring out how to answer the call while honoring self-preservation and what feels authentic to me. Not sure if this was the sign I needed, but I felt this…deeply. Thank you for this!
I'm overwhelmed by the “analog” type of creativity and moved by emotions. I'm humbled the Lord brought you across my feed; you are a fresh wind and fresh fire. @Rich Pérez
Thank you. I have been feeling the need to document and share my life more. But doing it for me and for the fun and joy of it. And if it be for someone be for the people of the future who need to know what’s really going on in the world as they try to erase it. But the intent is for the fun and catharsis of self expression and being present in this season Im in. Because soon it will change.
Grateful for this encouragement, and I'm going to check out that speech from Toni Morrison. These words came right at a moment when I was wondering if I'm getting "too deep" or "too out there," so those words land deeply with me.
Beautiful. Thank you for modeling this embrace of one’s creative fire. It takes great courage. And to know we can stand on the shoulders of ancestors is everything.
The way you describe the call coming precisely when we're ready to lose everything. that rings true. I've noticed the universe has this brutal elegance. it waits until we have nothing left to grip before showing us what we were actually holding onto. What makes some people answer that call while others spend years hitting ignore. even when their hands are already empty?
I felt this in my chest! Living the life I was conditioned to live has become heavier than I could ever imagine. Just reading "answer the call" helped my shoulders rise a bit.
What call am I answering? I am answering the call to speak, write, and be involved.No more doing the things or taking the jobs that people "think" I would or should be doing.
I am answering the call so I have a reason to step out of the room I am currently in. It is time to find like-minded people instead of trying to change the minds of those around me.

What if you can’t figure out what the call is?
But there’s something pulling you to create something out there
Proud to say, I’m a big fan from Instagram. Excited to see you here on substack.
I hear the “Loooove Meeee” song in the background with her voice as the narrator
Felt this because why some people are vessel from enternal to create
