Let Go

During self- isolation I felt overwhelmed by a storm of emotions, and I had difficult time to let them go, to express myself. After weeks of letting myself to feel the emotions that wanted so much to burst out of my chest I finally felt calm as if a weigh from my shoulders fell. Today in our society is easy to be labeled or targeted 'sensitive' if we show our emotions, if we cry in front of people.. because most of us are trying to be strong even if we feel to let out our emotions, to express ourselves to our friends or even cry. I always wondered what the word 'strong' means, I heard that some people say it to me other people feel good so they can move on. But what happens when this person is tired to be strong and all wants is to scream, vent and cry? To take a day or few days off and take a step back from the world so the eprson can take care of their self. In fact, put yourself first is not selfish or arrogant, because if you can;t take care of yourself or love yourself you can't love other or take care of them and last each one of us need time alone sometimes so we can become ourselves again after all we are all human beings. Is okay to not be okay. My pictures show my self-discovery and how I reacted in those situations, how I and my body reacted to the emotions I was having inside. Calm and chaos while the reflection is a sign of hope and maybe my inner self.
