06. at home in the world as my artist self botanical studies of internet magic

    • Entrepreneurship

this is my last chapter of sharing my wayfinding journey (for now) — in which I share how I stopped traveling, decided to make a home in Istanbul, and slowly learned to show up as my artist self — in relationship, and in the world. I’ll untangle:


why I clung onto hermitude, and resisted being in relationship (with any "other")


what I had to let go of: emotional storms + binary thinking


what I was afraid of (regression, and losing myself)


a “what if” that unlocked everything for me


choosing to show up as my uncompromising artist self


a slow emergence of philosophies and processes

this episode is about integration, metamorphosis, and the act of returning to the world — and allowing myself to be seen.
