One of my favorites writer’s said, “If you can’t change it, stand it.” I couldn’t live with myself for so long after a huge quarter life crisis that resulted in me accepting that I must cope and live with anxiety and depression. I lost the life I used to have and built an entire new one after by focusing on my career. I did however keep myself away from new connections with others because I wanted to keep them away from my stresses and my messes. As I learned to love myself and began to see that I could begin to cope with my quirks, I began to identify with other like minded artists who could put to words the jumble of feelings I have had. I saw a few of your street art images posted that I relate to but when I saw the words “Love me anyways” I decided to allow myself that possibility. It’s okay for me to want that. <3 Thank you!!!
