I loved how you've made the transition from performing to your more authentic self. It makes me excited to see how much more of YOU we will be able to experience as this acceptance deepens. I also love how changing the way we represent ourselves to other people can change the way we represent ourselves to ourselves in order to elicit a deeper understanding of what's inside. Please keep sharing.

Lovely, Kaspa. This para really struck me:

'Deconstructing our identities is a key practice in Buddhism. We pull at the causes and conditions that created us, we notice them one by one and discover there is nothing essential about being a person. Everything that makes us who we are is contingent, and everything is subject to change.'

Thank you.

I think this is the heart of why I volunteer as a stylist at our local Transformation Closet. It's an opportunity to help people feel at home in their body.
