Hey, beautiful souls,
You might have noticed something a little different on my Instagram recently—a Reel that’s a little more on the edgy side. I wanted to take a moment to peel back the layers and share the story behind it, as well as a side of myself that you might not see every day.
Unleashing the Demon Within
When I first heard Metallica’s “Sad but True” sung by Kelly Clarkson, something stirred inside me. The raw power of the music, combined with the haunting lyrics, spoke to a part of me that I usually keep hidden—the dark, primal energy that lurks beneath the surface.
The Making of the Reel
Creating the Reel was a cathartic experience for me. As I stood in the beautiful mountain meadow, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something more waiting to be unleashed. With each beat of the music, I let go of my inhibitions and allowed myself to embrace the darkness within.
Revealing My True Self
In the Reel, you’ll see my face morphing into a demon, my eyes glowing with an otherworldly fire. It’s a visual representation of the internal struggle I often face—the battle between light and shadow, good and evil, beauty and darkness. We all wear masks like the lyrics of the song. These masks allow us to hide, to portray an outward appearance to the world. But internally our own reality and identity is often conflicted between what the world sees and what we know about ourselves.
The Pendant: A Symbol of Inner Struggle
Throughout the Reel, you might notice a glimmer of gold around my neck—a long chain necklace adorned with a pendant. The pendent has jeweled dual faces, one serene and angelic, representing light and purity, while the other twisted or distorted, symbolizing darkness and inner turmoil. This pendant holds deep significance for me, symbolizing the ongoing struggle between light and shadow, good and evil.
Embracing Every Aspect of Myself
While I may often portray a purer and innocent image on social media, I want you to know that I’m not afraid to embrace my dark side. We all have layers to our personalities, and I believe in owning every aspect of myself, even the parts that some might consider taboo or unconventional.
Join Me on the Journey
As I continue to explore my creativity and express myself authentically, I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we can break free from societal norms and celebrate the beauty of our complexity, both light and dark.
