I so related to this... I agree that we need to be intentional in creating connections and....it's so much easier to favor practicality. Thanks for bringing this to light!

I often talk to myself out loud. Q&S's out loud. ideas out loud. I enjoy my own company and opinions, lol.

I’m always amazed when I read another artist’s thoughts that resonates with mine. I’m still childish enough to believe I’m the only one who has my thoughts! I remember hiding my conversations with myself as a child, somehow knowing that it would not be received well. I’d put that part of myself away for years, until recently. It feels great discovering my true self again, without a care of what others think! I had to become a senior citizen to embrace it! All this to say thank you! There are other artists that find our home within and are willing to talk out loud. 🙏🏽💐👏🏽

It really is a treat to stop hiding your true self. There is truly something to be said about the acceptance of oneself that comes with aging. Thanks so much for the response Indigene. It really is such a treat to be able to connect with others who get it!
