A Message to Myself

You don’t have to like your art—you just have to do it.

Perhaps what you have to say is different from what you think you must say. Perhaps there is a side to yourself the world needs to see, even though it is not what you wish to reveal.

There is courage in letting what comes come, and letting it be what it is: raw, honest, authentic. 

Your perfect self is imperfect; your imperfections are your perfections.

The only thing you will lose, in unmasking yourself, is what you do not need; but what you will lose if you remain hidden is the chance to be yourself.

It is your choice.
