With Beatriz Valério
There are those who say that artists are simple people with complex minds. The only certainty I have is that we have the privilege to send a message, a bit of us, with what we create.
This project would be the story of a girl that was expelled from home. Between an initial apathy and a reality shock that brings the reappearance of feelings like desperation, confusion, sadness, and a bit of madness, we follow the model in its process of acceptance and knowledge.
But, after all, we don't need to be expelled from home to enter in a spiral of emotions. All it needs is a relationship, a misunderstanding, an uncertainty, a family member, a parrot or parakeet, a work colleague, or, more often than not, we destabilize what goes in our own heads.
"Sara, that's all fun and games but I have no freaking clue what I'm doing here, am not where I wished to be, something is missing, I feel lost."
So? Do you think we have our whole life planned in detail? That it will be just as we wrote it?
Embracing what we are feeling will take us on the right path. It might not be the easiest path to follow but believe that you will not want to live in the unknown and in survival mode. All that happens to us (as unfair as it may seem at times) and how we interpret it will allow us to create our own identity.
In a more fragile, uncertain, and very confusing phase of my life, I passed by a street (where I pass by every week) and there was something that caught my attention. "Sadness is p(art) of it all". Who would say that the famous "sign" we all ask for, and that didn't seem too explicit to me at the time, was a sign I understood after a time and that soothed me.
The sadness, anger, indecision, euphoria, happiness. All those feelings are (p)art of it all.
This would be my interpretation, but why put a label?
Here's the magic. I leave it to you your own story to be created with this editorial, just like the title, for you to fill in.
