Standing In Emotion
-
Grief never ends but Lord willing neither will growth.
-
When I realized I was drowning I made strides to swim. Soon I realized I need to stand.
-
I’m better because I haven’t always been my best. Grieving to Grow.
Still
Still processing. Still trying to talk about it. Still remember your voice. Still ‘little girl’.
Still grateful for every moment. Still wishing for a couple more.
The Ocean, Emotion
Standing In Emotion
After years of feeling aloof, I renewed my journey back to myself. I looked for guidance many place outside of myself only to be mislead or mistreated which gave me the confidence to look to myself. To the wisest part, my spirit. The journey began with a desire to feel honest when I called myself an artist but grew to be the tumultuous act of love that I could perform for myself. As I began addressing myself, I began to hold space in ways I had been waiting for others too. I confronted the ‘bad’ attitudes, and the ‘best’ parts of myself too. I’d grown exhausted of allowing others to set the terms for me. So, I gave myself permission. When I stopped polarizing my emotions and experienced them, memories grew deeper, narratives stretched wider and contexts were enriched. This is the exhibition of vulnerability, accountability, growth and grief. I give myself permission to stand in the moment, to address myself and grant myself some peace. I hope you too, Stand in Emotion.
