My name is Brooklyn. I felt compelled to join this challenge to strip off the layers that I’ve put up to guard myself from my creativity. I used to have so many creative outlets and living in survival mode for multiple years has guarded me from reaching my flow state. Instead of getting frustrated that I’m not being creative, I’m excited to start taking small steps with this challenge! The texture word that comes to mind when I think about my life right now is Abstract. I feel like I am so busy and have multiple tabs open that require my attention, in terms of work, relationships, living. I like to be productive but I feel like my life is abstract-lots going on and not sure where to look next, but also beautiful. Melt. I have this word tattooed on my body to remind me how it feels to melt into the sand as I lay on the beach. It’s ironic since my favorite memory seems opposite to my current narrative but when I reflect, I think of warm and salty air. Thanks for letting me share😊
