After having babies, I felt betrayed by my body.

I don't know how to let go.

The career I always wanted is what wears me down the most.

I'm always so tired, but I cannot sleep.

I help everyone else, but me.

Medium Fortmat Film/120, 2020

 “There was a time not long ago that anxiety ruled both my mind and body. Illness coursed through me and took reign over my life. I was forced to put my dream of motherhood on hold to recover and be immersed in self discovery and love. It was as if once I found myself again, the baby found me, too. Pregnancy has only further calmed my anxious mind and presented countless new reasons to love and care for myself. I have my moments of worry, and sad days, but more notably I have an inner peace as my life unfolds in the way I had for so long wished it would.”
