This is completely relatable. I've been playing with letting who I really am feel safe in any setting. Showing up the same always. Letting people think I'm weird. Or misunderstand me. Or judge me as too quiet. Just letting that happen. Just to see what it feels like. It's taken a lot of practice. But I really love how it feels. It feels like honesty.
I love how you are showing up here. And if I met you, out there, in the world? I would want to meet this version very much. 🤍
That means a lot, thank you. I really feel what you said about letting yourself be seen, even if it means being misunderstood or judged. There’s a quiet kind of courage in that. It does feel like honesty, and I’m learning to lean into that too. And if we crossed paths out in the world, I’d be grateful to meet your honest version too😊
Cassandra I know the feeling. I don't want to be in creative mode all the time because that leaves me too over stimulated. When I'm among family and friends, I want to enjoy the moments with them. If someone asks about my art at dinner for example, I'll talk about it briefly and move on because I might not be in the mood to fully discuss it. Yes, art is always on my mind but I don't want it to be a distraction. I know that's easier said than done for most.
I hadn’t thought about it that way Alex, but you’re right, there’s value in stepping out of creative mode to just be present. It’s a relief to not always feel like you have to talk about your art, even if it’s always there in the background. Thanks for offering that perspective.

Exactly. Think of it has having soft music always playing in the background lol.
