Introspection
I recently had a daydream about the experience of meeting myself again. It feels as if I’ve transcended through so many layers of self within the last 5 years without much time pause and regather.

Exposure
Exposure: To the parts of my body that I wish would change To the toxic thoughts I often experience To the toxic society that implants images and ideas in our minds at such a young age Exposure: To the negativity To the discomfort To the illusion And to the phobias Laying in bed last night,…
