In my previous self-portraits, except “Me in a few strokes”, I don’t think I portrayed myself, as I really am, I portrayed a distorted, idealized image of whom I think I should be like.

This year was different and extraordinary for me in many ways, friends, experiences, having wonderful chats with amazing people that I admire… I don’t have words to communicate how grateful I’m for life. But being honest, these last few months I realized that some things I thought I had overcome were still there, hiding as everything looked so well.

And anyway, here I am, still, not in my best version, not as I would like to be, not as I would like you’ll to see me, but as I really am, a human, with struggles, weaknesses, and marks I have been getting through the few years I had been alive… and even with those I’m also strong in lots of ways. I know it, but that’s not always, not with everything, and that’s okay.
