A Commitment

So it’s been quite a while since I last posted here. And I can tell you that that is because I’ve been snowed under with reports and portfolios and I’ve been traveling and my life has just been crazy. Which is all true.

But the real reason is that sometimes it’s hard to write. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that there is inspiration everywhere and every breath I breathe in is full of creativity.

Sometimes it’s hard to remind myself to be open and honest and vulnerable.

My life has been easy- too beautifully easy- compared to so many others, and yet I still manage to get bogged down in difficult circumstances and painful memories. And sometimes those memories make me hard, make my heart hard, and I find that I’m no longer willing to see past that shell to the goodness and beauty beyond.

And that is so, so sad.

So I commit to you, dear reader. I commit to seeing the beauty, to seeing the goodness, to seeing the light in every dark corner. I commit to allowing myself to be vulnerable and open when the situation allows it. I commit to loving and learning and living every moment.

I commit to being grateful.

Dear reader, hold me to this commitment.

All my heart,

Abi
