Pursue Your Truth

BE UNAFRAID

IN THE PURSUIT

OF TRUTH

The first truth to be unafraid to pursue is the truth about who you are. What do you like doing the most? What makes you happier than anything? What makes you excited to be alive? These are the most important truths to pursue. And when you do, everything else will fall into place

 After years of pursuing a business that wasn’t my passion, I was burnt out and extremely unhappy. I was turned off by the greed, dishonesty, and fake people.

I didn’t know what to do, but all I could think was, I’m happy when I’m dancing. I need to dance more. I looked up different studios in the area. I went to one class here, one class there. Then I found a studio with great people and great energy. I took my sister with me and we kept going back. I made great friends. I had a community of people around me that I loved spending time with. We put on performances together. We went to the Magic Castle together. We had lots and lots of coffee and dinners together. My dancing improved. My confidence increased. And it brought JOY back in to my life.

Shortly after, I decided to move to Orange County to pursue a partnership in the same business. Before the actual move itself, I had to go through boxes of stuff that I had stored away for years—boxes of books, piles of poetry, copies and copies of poems revised by my poetry professors and classmates, the books and broadsides I handcrafted. I held my poems in my arms and heard, “THIS is who you are.”

It felt like an out of body experience. I didn’t know what do. I remembered those college days. I was working full time. I was going to school full time. And volunteering. I had no free time. But I loved every minute of it. I loved everything I was doing.

A few months after the move, the partnership crashed and burned. To say it was a tough time would be an understatement. But it quickly got me out from where I don’t belong. I got a job in marketing where I could use more of my creative skills. But in the few months I was applying for jobs, I had many moments of looking up to the sky. Asking what’s next? What do I need to do? And all I could think was, “share your poems.”

I started sharing my poetry on Instagram about a year ago and am starting this blog to share more of my experiences, more words, and more poetry with you.

 With love,

Marine Ashnalikyan

Truth! The third and final wall from our massive mural in Munich, Germany. @positivepropaganda such an amazing project for the community in Germany and the word. Even with the language divide there was so much dialogue created through the art. This is what we do! #pursuetruth #overthrone #germany #cyrcle @cyrcle

Working through 2 Peter today. I imagine a dark place, in this case literally, and how even the smallest light would draw attention, and keep calling me back. In this same way I seek the Scriptures, especially when I'm in dark places spiritually, emotionally. Seeking truths to stand on, confirming faith, adding to it. "For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,” we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts," So much in the first chapter alone. Re-reading it all. #scripture #truth #payattention #seekthelight #pursuetruth #healthwithouthype
