The first, the one that makes me feel the most uncomfortable. In 2022, I passed 200K followers on IG and I got depressed. I stopped creating for myself. I was creating for them. I had become a content creator against my will. I can hardly recall a single shoot from that time where I felt joy. It was all about pleasing others. I adapted to what was expected. I became a chameleonāand lost sight of who I was. This shot is from that time. I feel ashamed looking at it. Yes, Iām wearing luxury lingerieābut I feel dirty. Not because Iām naked, but because I was sexualizing my sacred self. It was never about nudity. It was always about connectionāhow aligned you feel with who you are. This image is a reminder of how far I strayed from myselfāand how I found my way back. Of the courage it took to face my reflection and tell that stranger: enough. Itās a reminder that weāre allowed to begin again, to give ourselves and others a second chance.

People pleasing is dangerous when neglecting yourself for it.

"I can hardly recall a single shoot from that time where I felt joy. It was all about pleasing others. I adapted to what was expected.
