I have a dream of Beauty Untrapped where love flows freely as wounds begin to heal and younger versions of myself discover once lost play and happiness. If you’re like me, you may sometimes feel confined and trapped in the day to day. The 9 to 5 grind, daily commute, endless chores and needs at home serve to fuel a “hustle culture” of comparison where we never have enough. In this whirlwind of survival and as some would say, “getting shit done,” we can easily lose sight of the hopes and dreams which once flowed freely through our imaginations.
Beauty Untrapped is a dream I am choosing to create. It begins here in this blog, and will hopefully become a safe space where people connect with one another through sharing the things that make us human and more alive. I hope to one day have the freedom to share my actual name, but for now, I introduce myself to you as “N,” the creator and author behind Beauty Untrapped. It is a pleasure to virtually meet you, and I invite you to follow along and join in discussions on Beauty Untrapped’s social media accounts.
Over the years, I’ve discovered that beauty draws me back to a place of reflection and freedom. Nature is full of this beautiful freedom, and in simple moments, I can almost hear beauty whisper. The rustling of leaves in the wind, gentleness of spring flowers, rays of sun breaking through the clouds and glistening upon bodies of water- the list goes on infinitely as I find beauty around me, or rather, as beauty finds me, and I discover myself.
My hope is that this beauty and sacred silence of reflection will lead all of us to discover and unleash the beauty, courage, hope, belovedness, and passion we hold deeply within ourselves. Each day, may we come to believe in the beauty of life and grow in the recognition that we too are beautiful.
