The artist

When I share my work

I want people to feel/see it in themselves
Before they see it in me. 
Cos yeah it’s MY art about me whatever but the whole point of art is to illicit emotions in others, and I want these feelings to inspire something in others, the way someone else’s feelings inspire something in me. The distance I have walked, I want others to feel excited to walk it themselves. I have grown into myself and only want everyone else to too. So no I’m not scared to share or have my work be seen- I’m scared people will see me before they see the art. Reading some of my stuff from another view, I see it can be kinda heavy. I do NOT want someone to look at me with sadness/pity in their eyes because of how they feel about what I’ve felt/experienced. I find it kinda gross and it makes me uncomfortable. I don’t want someone to read my words and not first think about how real and beautiful it is, and how it feels like it hits a raw nerve. of course I want them to see me too, and not necessarily have me separate from my work (though I evolve so often that sometimes it doesn’t even resonate with me anymore), but I don’t wanna hoard these things in me anymore. They need to be shared, they need to be experienced. I need to be experienced.
