lesson 21 of 30 ↣ how I learned to 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 myself (a poem) 

this is actually an excerpt from a spoken word poem I wrote 6 years ago, when I was 25. I went through 6 mo of deep depression. It was the darkest time of my 20s, but also the most healing journey. The full poem is like 13 min long haha. I had to cut it down to one min here. 

I hope these words hold you when you need it most. 🫂

thank u for this insane video journey together. i am absolutely floored to share my work on a stage this big. thank u for the comments, DMs, love. I may not respond (bc i’m deep in editing land), but I read everything. 🫶

special mentions: 
ty to yeeyeats maggizine thebokchoyboy for helping me shoot in the freezing foggy cold. 🥶
s/o to stellachuuuuu for working with me during that time of my career. 🫶

📍: Culver City Steps, but they kicked us out so this is all we could get 🤷🏻‍♀️
