back 2 the blueprint<3

As I navigate this journey of growing up, a persistent internal whisper has grown into a louder and more insistent voice. Urging me to damper down aspects of myself in order to fit this unspoken “mold”. This summer I've committed to quieting that voice and have started a conscious effort to release the burden of external perceptions (hard… but ultimately so worth it) . I want to reconnect with the uninhibited, authentic self I embodied as a little kid.

Each of us possesses a unique essence, a distinct contribution that makes us, us. Whether expressed through our personal style, the way we speak, or the particular way we go about life. These individual qualities are not imperfections to be muted, but rather the very qualities that make us special (cheesy but it’s true !!!). It’s a disservice to dismiss this beautiful and completely individual state of self for the sake of unnecessary approval or the illusion of belonging.

Therefore, my mission this summer is an “all in” return to that pure, unadulterated "me" that I’ve pushed down due to the complexities of growing up. It's about letting go of how others perceive me and simply being—returning to that child-like pure bliss and embracing every quirky, beautiful, and silly part of who I am, unapologetically.
