Summer Is Ending 💦 I feel very blessed, loved and nourished. This summer (it’s always ending of July and into August) I went through so many emotions, like in 2020, I was deeply challenged. This time it wasn’t concerning my health and skin but definitely my heart and mind. Loosing close relationships always take a lot of everything that you have and it takes time to recover. Reminded that life is a journey and that in this journey has lessons which always hit when you don’t expect them, I learn and grow through all of it. In the past two to three years I have lived more and more like an artist. I have become a DJ, performer, director, theatrepadagogue and much more. I have left my home and went into a city I didn’t know before and found a net of people I dearly call friends and lovers. I have left love and found love. I have found parts of myself, I couldn’t find in Austria. As a caring person standing up for myself is a whole challenge coz I have people pleasing genes 🫠. Through mentors (my mum, therapy, @apiyoamolo and @crazinist_artist ) who have been longer on earth than I have, I have been remembered of my worth and been guided to stand up for what I have to offer. To give to whom I wish to give and choose from whom I wish to receive. (Like Erykah Badu said: choose your friends like you would choose your apple from an apple tree). I have cried a lot, laughed a lot, left abusive places, been angry of fake support and supported myself but always with a little help from others. I have gathered strength and found more of what is of importance to me. Being all that I am, I went and still go through insecurities about naming my professions and owning up to them. Can I call myself an artist or dj? Like what are the ingredients needed to be called that. This sounds a bit cheesy but in this past years these things became the air I breathe and the truth I live. So I will own it as it is mine. In fact I own everything, my shadows too, they are part of me. Owning up to everything has shown me who will see me and walk with me through my journeys. Sometimes journeys of others differ from my own and paths are severed. Now again I learn to let go.
