maybe you hear the voices of those who object injustice, as shown in the media though certain social justice movements.
maybe you see buildings burning or people marching (social movements - i don’t think you need to add your opinion unless you want to)
maybe you want change, or success, or to improve yourself.
don’t be embarrassed to talk about pretending to be a character during a childish game. utilize that reality into an art form. for example, if you want to be a doctor or a nurse, maybe say “i pretend to listen to my future patients hearts.”
maybe say you feel that change is coming.
instead of saying that you’re touching a physical object, try saying something along the lines of “i touch the hearts of those who need encouragement.” if you choose to use a physical object in your work, that’s okay too!
maybe you worry about what the world has come to, or how many lives will be negatively impacted medically, psychologically, or economically as a result of the pandemic.
maybe you cry about people who die, or people who live with dementia, or maybe you cry when someone you love is sad.
