A letter of revelation

Dear readers,

The thing that you’re going to read is a friendly letter from myself to you that might or might not have a lot of helpful facts about me. Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to be self-centered. I am trying to make it easier for you to find me and to get to know me better in the most honest way possible. Because truth be told, we are going to meet each other at some point in your life, though most of the time it will not always going to be a conscious encounter. Some of you might take a while to find and wait for me because you believe that I need to be founded. More often than not, you get frustrated following that scavenger hunt just to find out where I am.

While reading this, you might notice that some of you might have already experienced the things that I’ve written. I considered that as normal, so please do not stop reading. Trust me, I will clearly state my reason here. Please read this letter carefully and allow me to explain myself.

I travel a lot and I will never settle.

It is what I do on a day to day basis for a living. I also travel for a good cause. I lend a hand to people who needs my help to create something. I travelled through the air you breathe. Due to my intensive travelling, I have to tell you that I will never settle. I might only come passes you or sit with you in that coffee shop for a while or when you stared at your ceiling late at night. But note that I am not there for a long period of time. So if you ignore me, I might as well leave and look for those who cried up for help.

I will rush into your door, without knocking.

Pardon my uncivilized manner, I will come right at you without agenda or a reasonable warning. I have to say that ‘perfect timing’ is not my thing. Some of you might be bothered when I come sit with you in the passenger seat while you’re driving, or when you’re about to close your eyes. Some of you welcomed me with excitement as you rush to grab a pencil and a paper, writing the notes on your phone or strum your guitar right away. Some of you are not ready and ignore me at that moment, while thinking that I’m still here and you can revisit me anytime you like. I will not always come to you when you’re ready to put your shoulders up the wheel, so please don’t be fooled. Due to the high demand from all the people living in this planet, I can’t be with you forever and I will never tell you when will I visit you again.

I might take in a different form

I know that this is confusing. Sometimes I touch you light in your shoulder whilst telling you unbelievable thing you should do, sometimes it seems like its too shallow to pursue and sometimes it ignites burning sensation inside of you. Please note that it is still me. The ones you’ve been searching for. I often met people who ignore and left me behind due to my shallow suggestions. Do consider that even though it is small, its still something you should think through. Appreciate what you’ve received at the moment, cause it might be helpful for you in later time. Again due to my intensive travelling, I might also come to you through the things that I’ve encountered before. It’s not fresh from the oven and a hundred percent original, but it passed on from someone else to you.

So..

With these in mind, I want you to know that even though you can’t see me, you don’t know when will I visit and you’re not sure that you can find me, note that I am everywhere. I am in the air you breathe. It’s okay to be mistaken me with any other thoughts you’re having, it’s okay to not being able to catch me by the hand right away. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Look at it in a different perspective. When you’re not being able to find me, it maybe because you need a break from your routine.

Readers, I hope you know that there is no reason to feel anxious, frustrated, anguish when you find that block in the road. You don’t need to find me by suffering yourself to sleep. You don’t need to cry out in pain because you thought you’ve failed to fill the blank page with ink. More importantly, you don’t need to grab yourself into that deep dark hole of shame. There will come a time that we encounter each other again. Trust me, just keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t give up the manuscript and don’t throw away the canvas. Don’t be afraid to keep doing what you’re doing.

May this piece of letter ignites a little spark inside of you.

Well then, until our next meetings!

Sincerely yours,

Creative Inspiration
