THE COST
I chose ugly, through feeling.
From scarred, dusty, voiceless, and abandoned by time.
�A mirror to the shame I carry
in silence: cracked, out of tune, unworthy of being seen.
Yet, with daily diligence,
I didn’t just restore it. I built something sacred from its ruins.
Every brutal sanding stroke tore away more than old varnish, it stripped layers of self-loathing I’d hidden for years.
Every string I tuned
recalibrated my own inner chaos into resonance. In the space I carved for it, beauty didn’t arrive gently. It exploded from the wreckage.
This journey is mercilessly
alive. Thought provoking. Uncomfortably intimate.�Each day new emotions
crash through me, raw grief, fierce resistance, trembling vulnerability, electric fear, and sudden, wild flickers of hope.
I feel everything more
intensely now. I refuse to look away. The work never ends in one triumphant moment.
�It lives in small, sacred daily acts: one mindful touch, one honest breath, one more layer released and with every return, pride grows, where it never existed before.
quiet, deep, unbreakable.
I am turning shame into hope.�Ugliness into holy resonance.�Brokenness into music.
The piano now roars with fire and grace beneath my fingers.�Inside me, an even deeper symphony is awakening.
I keep showing up.
Heart exposed. Proud
of the becoming.
The transformation continues , one beautiful, uncomfortable note at a time.
