🥀 “Make the world feel something” 💭A lot of journaling lately, and self-dialogue. I’ve needed myself lately more than you could ever possibly understand. So many of you have been reaching out with genuine deep questions. How do I do it? Due to the way life was handed to me since a child... all I had was my own words to comfort me, to console me. Never had role models, no support, no guidance to survive the life I was given... I had to be my own hero or I wouldn’t have made it out alive. As beautiful as I’ve chosen to express my life... this is deeper than it feels, and then you could ever know. This is more than the definitions of Artist, Painter, and I am not a traditional creative... I found my vocation and purpose in these mediums, but this is a direct reflection of my real life, that’s why it’s so raw. There’s a reason why you can sink into my words the way you do and have it still give you more, even if it’s the same words at different points in your life you feel them regardless of the emotions or relevance you attach to them. I knew how powerful my words are because they literally saved my life... so keeping them to myself would be selfish. I chose to share those truths with the world... because we all deserve the chance to be seen, to not feel alone, and to say how you feel... and most of all to heal. I remember being so broken, so lost... you know when you grow up your whole life fighting to stay alive. Most change, some end up unfortunately making the wrong choices to cope, and many don’t make it. Perseverance and the will to empower yourself when there’s no one and nothing left that is what I am, and that is what I will always be and represent... proud that my heart never changed, and for believing in myself. I remember writing letters and poems to myself dating 2014, 2016 etc which I’ve recently found where I am talking to my younger self to never give up, manifesting...imploring that one day the same world that never gave me a chance would need me and have no choice then but to listen, and that I would be able to make a difference through the very same words that saved me. I promised myself I would make the world feel something it’s never felt before. 7🥀
