currently in my life, i am practicing emotional vulnerability. learning how to translate this intimate relationship to my social media is taking time - but making art helps. not so long ago, the old me, would have been embarrassed to allow others to see me cry - or struggle openly with my mental health (even though i advocate for this within all of my conversations). growth is challenging yourself to overcome certain aspects of your identity and humanness that you used to tuck away and hope no one would find. life is short and we are young so why hold onto anything that isn’t serving you - even if they were once the things you used to protect yourself from your fears? why be fearful? why live in fear? i don’t want to care what others think of me. i need to learn how to love myself truthfully and without judgement or assumptions. that’s all for now :)
