I love using my Libra-inspired love of symmetry to edit the photos and videos that I make. My whole life, I’ve used this skill AGAINST myself. Perfectionism. Orthorexia. Fear of not fitting in. Now I’m channeling my gifts to produce beauty; instead of subjugating beauty to harsh judgment. I’m on the road the healing, y’all.

In Others, We See Ourselves

Social Media is like Junk Food
Social media is like junk food. The likes, loves, and haha emojis I get feel like they are feeding my sense of self. But they are only doing so on a very superficial level. They are not giving me actual care and nourishment. Much like empty-calorie, low nutrient-density food.
Multilingual Soul Speak
They say bilingual children start speaking later but when they do, they speak with fuller, richer language.
