๐ช A little โlet me re-introduce myselfโ:
These past 2โ3 years, whewโฆ a lot has happened, and a lot has changed. Iโve gained and lost people, isolated myself, and then reconnected with some of those around me again. I lost my sense of self and eventually found it again. I started speaking up more in certain relationships, which made some of them deeper and more honest. I stopped creating, only to begin making new, authentic work. I went from having no real vision to actively working toward one. Iโve become โsofterโ as a woman and allowed myself to feel emotions more deeply (meaning I made space for them), and Iโve also learned to handle them better (still learning) and to trust my intuition more (through some tough lessons).
For so long, I thought I was lazy, but Iโve come to realize I simply never gave myself a proper break and the proper โnutritionโ (in every sense of the word) to blossom. Instead, I let the parts of me that needed healing hold me back and push me into perfectionism and the constant need to prove myself while running with no direction at all. In other words, Iโve truly gotten to know myself better ๐ช.
Knowing your values, your vision, the parts of yourself that need healing, and the areas that need more care and loveโฆ recognizing your own light and understanding your unique purpose here on Earth โ that is something I wish for everyone. Clarity, peace, and a sense of purpose are invaluable.
What I now want to do is share the wisdom, love, and knowledge Iโve gained โ through my art as a photographer and, eventually, through my own workshops (more on that next year). I want my work to be more intentional, dedicated to serving the greater good. I hope my art becomes a catalyst for internal growth and reflection. And as I grow on this journey, Iโd love to take you all along with me ๐ซถ๐ฝ.
Blessings,
An-G
