Hello people from The Mighty community.!
I wanted to share you a little anecdote of how I opened about my mental issues and confront it.
I love to take photographs (even though I think I'm not so good as the rest of my classmates) and for my personal project I decided to expose my journey of how I started to develop these disorders and illness.
At first, I was afraid of showing my pictures of my perception of the reality to the people, but I felt that I really needed to speak it up so I could accept myself with my imperfections.
The photograph of this post ( also my profile picture) , represents how vulnerable and small I can feel when the pressures and expectations of the others are above me.
The light symbolizes this pressure and the black ink represents how they can sometimes affect me.
With this project, I could discover how our passions can help us to escape from our problems, and maybe it can result in something beautiful ( as I see my pictures).
Hope you can also gain the courage to tell your story and feel better as I do. If you don't like or share my opinions, is okay, but don't leave hate comments; they are unnecessary.
This is posted with the best intentions and is difficult for me to reveal it with others! I actually feel a little scared and nervous as I'm very shy 😅.
I wish you a nice day!!!😉😊😄
Keep going!
