By Kyra Oakland

The intimate symbolism within my life is for my eyes only.
No one can understand the context that brought me to this current moment.

I can’t translate what I have been through,
nor do I have the capacity to make anyone understand my choices.
There is an untranslatable experience within my interior.

My experience shines a mirror on your own.
You can only feel what you’ve lived through.

My outlook. My words. My actions.

Art is born from the desire to make another feel understood.

Yet, I am learning to release the need to be understood.

Some things are not meant for others.
Some things are only meant for you.

When the call is coming to you–

Pick it up.
Answer it.

If you were meant to do it with someone else,
they will receive the call too.

Do not slow yourself down so others catch up.

There is a diversity of experience out there.
Grow in the direction you are being pulled.

What you seek is seeking you as well.
Create for yourself and others may find themselves in your work.

If only they’re meant to.

Simply yours, Ky
