another self-portrait, january 2019
"I needed this. I needed to remember myself that I'm still myself. I needed space. To escape for some seconds. I needed to check my breath. I am breathing... If you need, you need, don't be afraid to look at yourself carefully. I know it's scary, but we all need it sometimes. (...) I thought for some days that I was drowning in an unreal reality. (...) I am alive".
(...)
"I can hurt my own skin just to make sure that I'm alive. I am between my victories and my failures. I count them every day. (...) I'm afraid to lose myself, to never reach my hopes, to let feelings become ashes. It's a relief to notice that we are becoming better and better and we will never get there alone. Perfection is something you will have to wait, darling. Look around, don't be afraid, you're not the only one. Look at your empty hands, your dirty feet and your big heart... you have the eyes of a human thirsty for the things you don't know. Wait, my dear".
