The FUTURE: Arts.Advocacy+Wellness: "Grounding in self"

GROUNDING IN SELF

"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought, there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do."

-Frida Kahlo

After reading this quote of Frida Kahlo's it triggered a memory from my childhood. I would sit in my room at night, gaze out the window count the stars, cause there were many, and wished for the same boy like me who felt like me, who had the same feelings I had, and wondered when I would meet him. I knew he was out there. Strange, like me. My dream was to find him. My heart would ache because I knew he was out there, even in the stars, I knew he was there, even if he was just 1, he was there and I thought to myself then, "I'm gonna search for him."

Staying Grounded in self today.
