throwback thursday.* circa 2018 ~ my first professional nude photoshoot, part no.1. i felt like i was jumping into a pool of ice. becoming an art model was something that i had recently discovered through social media. i saw such beauty in the natural curves of women's bodies and my mind was forever opened, new neuropathways of possibility emerged within me as i witnessed others aligning with their truth. something so taboo ~ nudity ~ and yet... sooooo inherently natural. i saw versions of myself reflected in these models, forgotten parts of myself that screamed to be set free... searching for freedom.* searching for freedom.* and finding inspiration in the uncomfortable spaces i placed myself in. shedding layers of beliefs that society had projected onto me as i shed layers of my clothing, until i lay bare on the couch. open. vulnerable. honest. raw. just me in my skin. nothing to hide. only more to discover. let's continuously step out of our comfort zones with a intention and purpose. together, we let go of our mind and tune into the impulses of our heart to rediscover the infinite strength of our unconquerable soul... the part of us that eternally exists whole.*
