What advice would you give to your teenage self?
What advice would I give to my teenage self…
I would tell myself:
You are a human being with feelings.
Allow yourself to grieve, to feel anger, sad, disappointed, hurt, used…
You are not guilty!
You are worthy!
Be kind to yourself.
‘Inna Turmoil’ (Acrylic and acrylic ink on canvas)

I would tell myself: Don’t internalise the pain and the belief.
Happy Sunday! ❤️

Hi Sara!

tx for sharing your great art & thoughtful post – I’d tell myself not to feel bad for being exactly who I am, and to always shake off guilt — but would I have listened?…

I would have warned myself not to get my hopes up about having more friends in college because socially it was really just high school with beer.

I’m working on it Sara,
allowing myself all things that I wasn’t allowed as a kid. Things like you can have water or use toilet whenever you feel like it. These were the biggest ones that my mom yelled at me when I was six. Like I wasn’t human, but today I’m human, I can drink water and pee as much as I want. Good times come to those who wait

Thank you, Laura ❤️ It’s so wrong that children can feel such extreme guilt (unfounded). It’s still a work in progress, but I’m certainly getting there…painting is the release and expression.
