Talismans writing – Mia Ranello

Some things I want are love and good health and fortune for me and my family. I want to avoid people who drain me of my energy or doubt me. But most of all, I want to feel fulfilled, which I think can encompass everything I’ve ever wanted or thought I needed. I yearn to feel complete which instead of involving happiness, involves contentment and acceptance. I just want to be the most at peace as I possibly can be in such a tumultuous world. Obstacles that I am aware of include racism, sexism, prejudice, bias, self-deprecation, and self-esteem issues. I wish to highlight the more introspective obstacles that I put myself through. I also want to include some sort of reminder about staying present and moving on from hang-ups which I tend to overthink. These aspects can be represented by some cultural elements, like a Chinese dragon (for strength and health) or Chinese knots and locks (for prosperity and protection of the self). Certain elements can also be represented by flames or plants to represent regrowth and renewal. Self reflection and enlightenment can also be represented by locks and keys, and completeness could be represented by sets of organs, or Chinese infinity knots.
