Tina Modotti (Italian, 1896 - 1942)

Zoltán Glass (Hungarian, 1903 - 1981)

I used to want people to like me, and took rejection and judgement so personally. Now I feel humbled by the understanding that most people judge you out of their own misunderstood fear, or of being othered

I'm less afraid now to look at my flawed and lonely exiled parts, than I have ever been

I saw a friend post something about how the more she heals the less ambition she has... I relate. It's not that I don't feel inspired to make art, but the reasons have changed, and my timelines are morphing, along with the woman I once was

Nothing gets me more excited and engaged than real talk. Vulnerable, messy, honest, raw conversations and authentic feelings. My time is so limited now and my radar for bullshit is high. I don't have minutes or hours to waste with the fake superficial superfluous bullshit

The old me doesn't exist anymore. Some days I grieve her, some days I rejoice. I'm still waiting for the new me to arrive, emerge, be discovered

You can't escape life, if you are a fully present aware human being

That's what I strive for. This is your life. Accepting it gives you the power to change, and to release the urge to control, grip, and inevitably suffer at your own expense
