This painting exemplifies vulnerability and the journey to discovering your identity and confidence. There’s a lot of noise in the world forcing others beliefs of what’s “right” and what’s “wrong”...Of how you should be, how you should act, how you should look, who you should love, and how you should live your life. But at the end of the day, it’s up to you to decide your happiness and who you ultimately are, and more importantly who you are becoming. Because life’s a journey, you grow and change to be a better person. People will come and go into your life. And the ones who deserve your attention and love are the ones who love you for who you are. 💜

We hold such high expectations for ourselves that

We hold such high expectations for ourselves that we quickly condemn ourselves for not meeting them.

We tell ourselves, “I have to ALWAYS be the best.”

Or “I should NEVER miss an opportunity to succeed.”

Or “I will ALWAYS show up to work hard everyday.”

Or “I should ALWAYS be positive.”

And if we miss the mark we quickly tear ourselves down.

But even in our strengths we will mess up and fall short.

We all make mistakes.

We all have a breaking point.

Always remember to be gentle with yourself.

Just keep moving forward.

You got this 💪🏼
