I’m surprised I still haven’t finished my chair.
But somewhere between unfinished projects and scattered supplies, I found something else.
This weekend wasn’t about furniture. It was about creativity.
I opened a box I hadn’t touched in a long time, filled with beads, clips, decorations, and little pieces of inspiration from another version of myself. Instead of working on the chair, I started redesigning jeans and sweaters. One idea became another, and before I knew it, hours had passed.
And it made me wonder…
Why am I so determined to rediscover myself?
For so many years, my energy has gone into taking care of everyone else. Solving problems. Carrying responsibilities. Holding the fort together. Somewhere along the way, the woman behind all those roles became harder to find.
That’s why I keep reaching for art.
Not because I’m trying to escape my life, but because I’m trying to reconnect with it.
I keep questioning myself. Is this avoidance? Am I distracting myself from responsibilities? Am I just filling time? Am I hiding from the outside world?
I don’t know.
What I do know is that creating makes me feel alive.
Every bead, every brush stroke, every project, every unfinished chair feels like a conversation with a part of myself I haven’t seen in a long time.
Lately, I don’t just want to create things. I want to create an environment that feels like me. I want to paint. I want beauty around me. I want calm. I want peaceful corners that make me breathe a little deeper when life gets loud.
Maybe Wave 33 is about understanding that finding yourself isn’t always a destination. Sometimes it’s a process of creating, exploring, and giving yourself permission to become someone new while honoring who you’ve always been.
