The essence of new beginnings

If you're not new to the world of Priscilla Diaz, you know that for some time I've pursued all my creative endeavors under Elisa Urzua. If you have ever wondered why, the answer is simple, I did not want to be found. I was hiding under the comfort of my comfort zones. I realized that even in "hiding" you can come across challenging situations. You can still come face to face with disappointment, loss and pain but in the midst of that you also experience plenty of joy.

The break is over. After much introspection and keeping most of my recent work archived I began to look forward and grasp the essence of a new beginning. I had questions, who or what am I doing this for? Was it for external validation or the sole purpose of my Soul's evolution? I've realized through the course of this reflection that I am done hiding, done playing small.

Innately, my essence is exuberantly bold. I live in colour, thrive in messy painted track pants and excel in creativity. An introvert who is extroverted in safe spaces. A person who loves to inspire others to pursue their passions, a person who willingly shares knowledge,  never gatekeeping what could benefit another person in their own pursuit of growth. A person with clear boundaries, unwilling to compromise on anything that disturbs her inner peace. A person who just loves to love. 

The essence of new beginnings is essentially the same as your starting point, it reflects your core values, your moral ground, your character and the way you demonstrate this to the world.  A new beginning is demonstrating what you've learned, adjusting to new information and making the necessary changes without compromising on any of the above. Your values, morals, and character remain untouched. Growing through the process, becoming a better version, but never allowing the challenges to erode what you’ve worked so hard to accomplish. A love of self, a love for connection, a love for exploring the vast possibilities the universe has to offer without fear of how things will unfold. 

Love to live, live to love.
