Pardon me now, while I curl up and hide under a seashell #hermitemotions #nervcited 😓💕The hardest part of my job is the show openings. It’s just a few hours a few times a year, but if you’re an introvert, you know what I’m talking about. Most days, I’m completely alone about 70% of the time...I go weeks without leaving the house - sometimes I’ll go days at a time without even going down the stairs. My studio is my little sanctuary and leaving can feel scary. For the past few years I’ve been so sick and my immune system has been so totally worn thin from the fight that any exposure (even just going to the grocery store or the post office!) would risk me picking up whatever was floating around and leave me sick for days on end. My immune system is worlds stronger now, but my mind still has a ways to go to trust my body and quell the anxiety of being in public situations. We fight our demons one tiny battlefield at a time! #straponyourbootsmab #bravegirlface #sickgirlsclub #childrenofthenephilim #monstergallery
