“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” ― Gospel of Thomas

When feelings aren’t released or allowed to move through us in the form of creativity or emotional expression, they stay stuck to us and in us, weighing us down, stifling our energy, and preventing us from living as our biggest selves.

Such a simple secret: by letting things out, we also let things in. So if you're cut off, in pain, estranged, numb—sing, give voice to anything. It needn't sound pretty. Simply, bravely, open despite the difficulty, and let what is in out, and what is out in.
