Slide 8 was the one that really hit me—it was such a revelation!
It helped me make sense of why, during the Covid years, everything felt so meh…
I had just resigned from teaching that year 2020, and with both boys at home, navigating full-time motherhood in the thick of lockdown, I was struggling with a sudden loss of identity.
I felt like I had poured myself out and didn’t know who I was anymore. And yet, I kept turning to calligraphy.
At the time, I didn’t fully understand why… but now I do. The act of CREATING—of being creative in even the smallest way—became my quiet refuge.
Writing calligraphy was my coping mechanism, my way of processing what I couldn’t always express out loud.
It wasn’t just about pretty letters; it was about making something in the middle of the mess.
That simple act of creating sparked new life in me. It gave me a sense of clarity… and dare I say, HOPE ❤️
So if you’ve ever felt that same sense of restlessness, disconnection, or just not feeling like yourself (and I get it, I really do)… maybe it’s time to gently lean into creating again, and see what life it might spark in you, too.
Love,
Serene
