Beautiful While Burning

Something I wrote in college:

“Hurt people hurt people.”

I want to live in a world where hurt people heal people instead.

Artists and hyperactive overthinkers do it best. Give us time and space and we will bleed ink across your scars. Give a writer your sorrows and she will poison the tip of her pen just to protect you. Give an artist your pain and he will start painting.

Give it all to them.

Because anyone can stare at a sunset and call it beautiful. But creators, inventors, we see the sun for what she is, power, fire, fury, and still we call her beautiful. We understand what it means to burn and still fill the sky with light.

What strength it takes to be beautiful while burning.

To be on fire for the world yet still long for the peace of being unseen.

Creators, overthinkers, inventors, we notice what hides in plain sight. We will show you that surviving while on fire is its own kind of beauty.

We will show you that hurt people can heal people too.
