so many of us are afraid of being abandoned. at some point in time, we all feel like we have been left behind by someone who was supposed to love us. as a result, we do our best to love others so they don’t feel abandoned. but we end up abandoning ourselves: we stop being honest with ourselves about what we need. we leave our true selves, often our inner child, behind in order to become something we think is more valuable to others. the second we stop abandoning ourselves is when we truly tend to the wounds we’ve sustained in our lives, and begin to tend to the ones we love. #psa #shesfeelingdeeptoday #nyc 📸 @shotbycaitlyn hair and makeup @jthebabe styling @elianamariec styling and model, yours truly wearing my sis @kennpan 😍 upcycled sustainable garments shot at @vns_studios
