Spectacles, forced mask of certain personality…
““Spectacles, forced mask of certain personality, self-hatred and life-long traumas, that are hidden behind curated theatrics, which remain unhealed, eventually will swallow your bravado and force you to have an honest conversation with your real self, which you try to hide from everyone, even from yourself. The reason I never cared for volume in anything, but substance of what I live, create and who I choose to let into my life, was because I don’t need anyone's permission or validation to be alive, brave, afraid, weak, honest, fearless or vulnerable. Substance over noise and chaos, always.””
