Meditation is not the peaceful escape people like to picture. At first, it’s anything but restful. It is messy, loud, and honestly really uncomfortable.
But that mess? That’s the doorway to healing.
This artwork is my brain on display: intrusive thoughts barging in, old memories I never asked to revisit, and an endless chorus of to-do lists. Yet I keep showing up. Day after day. Five minutes of meditation can feel harder than holding a five-minute plank.
But here’s the thing—if you stick with it, something shifts.
The noise starts to loosen its grip, and in those tiny cracks of stillness, you catch glimpses of yourself again. Meditation isn’t easy, but it’s like a gold mine .
Messy, chaotic, and yet life-changing.
