Don’t Be Afraid to Disappear

Don’t Be Afraid to Disappear

From Michaela Coel’s acceptance speech at the 73rd Emmy Awards:

“Write the tale that scares you. That makes you feel uncertain. That isn’t comfortable. I dare you. In a world that entices us to browse through the lives of others to help us better determine how we feel about ourselves, and to in turn feel the need to be constantly visible — for visibility these days seems to somehow equate to success — do not be afraid to disappear from it, from us, for a while and see what comes to you in the silence.”

Silence is the space for new opportunities to burst forth. Just as one does not disgrace rests in music, or sleep in athletes, one should never criticise the quiet, secluded moments in one’s journey, for these periods are catalysts for growth.

Back to the bliss station.
