A little ditty about showing my face on Instagram:
I have forgotten to show my face on an Instagram post in awhile but it doesn't feel like it because I have been sharing selfies on the regular in my stories.
Why did I start doing that?
I am experimenting in combining, taking 1 selfie in the morning no editing no redos, accountability, self talk, morning pages, realness/ vulnerability about myself in ways that are not generally practiced on social media platforms. It's me holding a mirror up and letting you in on the process of acceptance.
Artists often show process videos or in progress photos of what we're working on. We create artwork and in the process many of us learn to embrace ourselves, our flaws and strengths.
I think the most of exceptional works of art are the lives we lead, and how we hold ourselves and others along the way.
If you're here with me, here on this platform it means some part of my life / work that I share with you, has value to you. I take that very seriously.
I hope when you're scrolling that when you come across my face or my work that you don't feel like you need to compare our lives because we are different in our own beautiful ways. I intentionally show and discuss the progress and not just the pretty bits to welcome you here to this tiny section of the internet.
We're all works in progress our whole lives... No one really knows 💯 what the heck they are doing even if they make it seem like they do.
