I’m back to share news, both good and bad. The bad. My stress levels are rising drastically. These past few weeks were tiring and draining. A lot of things happened in the midst of it. Resulting in me losing things…and myself. These past few years, I’ve cried more than I ever had in my youth. And cried for reasons only adults know to be true. While it is temporary, it feels permanently. It’s gonna be alright through time. Though the good news is that I’ve been applying to residencies and exhibits. I’m hoping that with my current portfolio I get accepted to one of the few. Let’s keep our fingers crossed… I still am working on the last piece from the last post. The work will all be to make it to Art Basel Miami and build myself as an emerging artist. With everything going on and piling up, I’m deciding to give up myself. I can’t let what stresses me out eat me. And I can’t let that, that is not of me, bring out the worst in me. Even myself. I get a sense of hope when I look up to the sky…. Call it corny, but im starting to do a lot of things differently now. Cloud-gazing, daydreaming, whatever it takes to clear my mind for a brief millisecond, and decide…to breathe and let go.
