Balancing Difference

It's Thursday night and I'm laying low. Not going to the fashion to see Jason. Not feeling up to being social this evening. It's all good.

The piece to the left is a from my series called Evolution. It's a set of 3 pieces titled Balancing Difference. The piece in the middle is a self portrait and the balls on the side represent the many sides/colors of who I have been, who I am, and who I see myself becoming. I chose this piece today because earlier in the day, I had spoken with my sister Blanca about the ongoings with Jason. As I struggled to have understanding, it was beautiful to hear her talk about the importance of having balance in life; I needed to hear these words today.

It was interesting to find myself hearing her words, as I knew immediately that the lack of balance in my life was creating uncertaintity and unhappiness. I found it funny that I had not caught onto it myself earlier. Seeking balance has always been an important part of me. I can easily look back on my life and see that I felt most unhappy or uncertain when there was a lack of balance.

In the past couple of months, I have gained weight, I have not been eating as I would like, I have not been sleeping regularly, I have not been going to the gym often, I have not been painting the way in which I would like, I have not been working on my relationships with friends. I can go on, but I won't And so, the light bulb turned on and I realized what I needed to focus on.

I felt grateful for having this understanding and looking forward to sharing it with Jason in greater detail. Thank you all for listening :)

In those moment when life feels odd, look to find what is off balance and immediately the focus will change. It really is that simple, I promise.


Buenas Noches!!!
