“UNTITLED” BALLPOINT PEN, INK AND MARKER

“I have navigated existence as an extremely sensitive person since I was a young child. Operating with a moderate to severe amount of anxiety has been an everyday reality well into my adulthood. When I was a child, I thought the solution to my distress was the love I could receive from the world. As I grew older and well into my adulthood, I searched for a relief from the chaos, fear and pain from lovers. Now, after surviving a pandemic in which most have been stripped of emotional, financial and mental resources, I have adapted and learned the ultimate grounding exists within myself. I have realized that the comfort I have desperately searched for in my life resides within me; I could be the peace I’ve always sought. The world is full of pain, but inside of ourselves we store a vault of undying love that just takes time and understanding to access.” Instagram: @baby_misery
