Day 2 Done!

The mask I've been wearing most is the Invisible one.

I also wear the perfectionist, the caregiver and sometimes the people pleaser.

It's starting to make sense - the half finished drawing on my easel, the unsent emails simply asking for what's rightfully owed.

The over achiever in me fails to finish the drawing on the easel because of perfectionism. Is this linked back to childhood when told I'd never be able to make a living as an artist? Not because I'm not good enough, but because my parents didn't see it as a "respectable" career. Most likely. The people pleaser always colours within the lines - don't make waves, staying invisible keeps me safe.

The email reminding the graphic design client (ie the respectable career) that the invoice has not been payed - I'm asking for money for my creative endeavours. NOT SAFE!

How exhausting it's been hiding all the time for my own protection.

What I loved as a kid (before the masks): drawing, exploring the bushland, creating with my hands, biking or rollerskating wherever our hearts led us.
