Positive Inner Dialogue

~ Nuraine Sadaf ~ Leave a comment

Thought of the Day!

Leave no room for negative self-talk. Be your own greatest cheerleader, because if you don’t stand up for yourself, no one else will.

These words aren’t new to us—we’ve seen this advice before. But how often do we truly absorb it, let alone act on it? The way we speak to ourselves in our minds shapes our reality. What we believe is what we become.

Have a lovely day, fellow readers! I’d love to hear from you—how do you talk to yourself? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 🙂

All Art is a Kind of Confession

~ Nuraine Sadaf ~ Leave a comment

Quote of the day: “All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up.” – James A. Baldwin

What a beautiful quote and a beautiful confession!

So true isn’t it? Art is a representation of us, a form of personal expression, revealing our emotions and something deeply personal. Our vulnerable core personality that we put out and share with the world through art. There are different forms of art that reveal the truth directly, while some do so in a more subtle way. No matter the judgement or criticism, artists will not keep their creativity bottled up, we always find ways to express ourselves through art. Artists will never stop creating. 🩵

This quote, by the American writer James Baldwin, emphasizes that art is not just a product of skill or creativity, but also an essential outlet for the artist’s deepest emotions and experiences.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments related to this quote, what do you think fellow artists?

Do what you love, love what you do 💞

Pursuing hobbies and passions for their own sake can be deeply fulfilling. Not everything needs to be turned into a business or monetized. Enjoying and continuing with something you love be it knitting, dancing, writing, sketching, or gaming, can bring joy, relaxation, and personal satisfaction, regardless of its commercial success.

Sending pink flowers and pink love your way. Happy day! 🌸🩷

Where you at?

I cannot sleep,
Is it my troubled mind, that is keeping me awake all night?
Or is it the moonlight from my window?
I try long and hard –
To go back to a peaceful world of dreams,
Where the night is dark and the sleep is deep.
But lately I’ve been up all night!
Tossing and turning,
Taking deep breaths,
Reading books,
Listening to meditative music to put me back to sleep…
Why isn’t anything helping?
What is it that I’ve been thinking?
Am I anxious or just excited?
What am I waiting for,
Or rather who am I waiting for?
No, stop it!
Stop thinking.
I need my sleep.
Let’s try going back to sleep.
Night night!
