Welcome to The Thought Blossom ~
Join me on this journey of healing & efflorescence…
a place for thoughts, a place for moments, a place for love, a place for release
a place of freedom, a place of pain, a place of hope, a place of memories
the beginning of a new day, the end of a long night
a place of comfort
a place for our hands to touch
and release the love
from our hearts –
and find peace.
My name is Emily Rose Hinz and I am the creator of the poetry Instagram platform, The Thought Blossom. I am an artist based in NYC with infinite dreams and a deep love of all creativity. About a year and a half ago, I decided to birth a space where I could openly share the many poems and prose that had been hiding away in my journals for much too long, and my, what a beautiful journey it has been.
Being immersed into the writing community on Instagram has allowed me to connect with an exponential amount of talented and passionate beings who breathe an immeasurable type of love and support. My gratitude towards my writing family on Instagram is ever growing and I am eager to expand that family through Medium.
I believe writing can create one of the most beautiful & intimate relationships a person can have with themselves. A relationship that converses in raw honesty and deep vulnerability; unveiling the purest magic in our hearts, our souls, and our minds like nothing else can. You are connecting with yourself in a way that you are not capable of doing by conversing with others. Not only are you hearing your thoughts in your mind, you are transmitting that thought throughout your entire being, through the very tips of your fingers, onto a piece of paper, as you watch your hands paint the words onto the page and read what you have created… And what a beautiful process that is to experience.
It is here that we benefit the most from writing, where we learn the most about our sufferings, our souls, our hearts… Writing is not about manipulating what you want to write, it is about being true to yourself. When you are writing the way you want and the way you love, it is nothing short of magic. The words that I share are bits and pieces of my constantly-flowing ocean of thoughts; reflections of the experiences that I have had in my life thus far. I like to think of them more as adventures of life… wondrous, painful, ugly, joyous, enlightening, all the same, I have held my own hand through these times and have led myself to the other side to reflect.
Writing is an act that should not be thought hard about. Rather, we should allow ourselves to stop thinking and give way to the natural stream of consciousness as it transforms itself onto the page. The more thought I put into my writing, the less honest and pure it becomes. I begin to question myself when I should be listening to myself and respecting the authenticity of my words. From the earliest days of our existence, we are taught of the importance of listening. If a loved one is telling you a story, is it right to neglect their voice and put your focus elsewhere? When you truly listen to someone, you feel them. You absorb their words into your mind, heart, and soul, without any editing or hesitation. We must do the same with our own voice, with our own thoughts. Never neglect your own discoveries of your heart, spirit or mind… Give those discoveries the courtesy of being heard. Give them the courtesy of being written down onto a piece of paper. Manifest them, pray on them, embrace them. For once they are released into the universe, the possibilities of their influence are endless.
So, as I close this introductory piece, my only wish is that you find peace here. Peace not only within yourself, but also within the depths of all of your trials and tribulations. I wish this to be a safe space filled with love & healing, where you all are welcomed to feel deeply, share your thoughts & awaken your souls with light. For that is what I believe we all need more of, and I will do everything in my power to continue on that path to higher ground for myself, and for all beings.
I am eager to expand my horizons on this platform and share my work with you, and know that maybe in some way, big or small, I am helping you, too. May we all continue creating, loving and growing together, as one.
Thank you for being here with me.
It is time for replenishment.
It is time for transformation.
It is time for growth.
