Enjoy your last day of 2022! This dying year started in pain for me (it was like: oh no, another year where I'll be very miserable and nothing will change, and indeed it started as foreseen) but finished quite unexpectedly in bliss, because many things have changed, even if I didn't know it at first, thanks to my therapist (I've only seen her once in 2022, in January, most of the work having been done in 2021), thanks to my friends, thanks to the books I read, to the podcasts I listened to, to the music I love, to the series and movies I've watched, to the art and artists that moved me and made me question myself and the things around us we take for granted or normal and aren't. - I've started to accept fully who and what I am - I'm working on my boundaries (still in progress). I don't want to be nice just because I don't know how to be another way, I want to be kind because I choose it. - I stopped trying to control other people - I know that I'm worthy even if I don't belong in what society expected of me - I don't care what other people think of me - I try to learn from every experience. I've stopped beating myself for things I've done wrong (sometimes 25 years ago). Now, when I do something contrary to my values, I just tell myself: you'll do better next time, go on! - I've started to love myself and thanks to that I have much better and sincere relationships with other human beings. So here's to another year saying NO to other people's shit and letting go of things and fully be myself, that is: a very happy self-respecting self-loving childfree single 41 year old woman artist. With a cat. And precious friends (often creative people), the family I've chosen. I'm bad at New year wishes because they seem so mandatory but I wish you the best for 2023. Thank you for being here. Do expect to see more and more art here. I love you. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1mr96MXp1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
