Stay True to Yourself 💯

Before you can be real with anybody else you gotta be real with yourself.
And if I’m being honest most days I’m at war with my own mind. I’m homeless right now sleeping in a tent trying to make sense of how I even got here. And the deeper I go into isolation the harder it gets to pull myself back out. People online make it look easy to fake a life you don’t have. Filters, angles, vibes. But would you really post a selfie of your life unfiltered? Would you really show the parts that don’t look good? My barrier ain’t money.
It ain’t housing.
It’s me.
It’s the weight of my thoughts, my memories and my trauma . I know all of this may not be appealing but it's REAL. ⛺

Inside The Tent

I AM WHO I SAY I AM
