So, yesterday I shared a photo and I almost didnt. Even after all this time, I am hesitant to share my more personal work here, because of fears I have from the past and people Ive known. I constantly fight an inner symphony of voices whose aim is to keep me contained and safe. I have to constantly remind myself that this is my life, I have to be true to myself and my art. And anyone who is offended, or put off by my art can hit the road. Thats not my problem anymore. Do all people who seem so strong to others struggle with this internal fear? Because the fear? It is real. It is there every day. But I guess I have a choice to let it dictate how I will live my life and present myself to the world. Im going to choose to keep questioning all those voices. Most of them are just coming from a scared little girl inside that thinks if she lets herself come out and shows the world, that she will never connect with anyone. Didnt mean to write a book here. But I really wanted to say that I was floored by the support I got on my image yesterday. Sure, it was a fairly safe one, but to me, a really big deal that you connected with it. Because I didnt expect that. Im going to share more here because of that. You gave me strength. Thank you for that.
