Fantasy Photoshoot in the PNW Woods? Healing My Soul? All. 👏🏻 Day. 👏🏻

This photoshoot was healing for me. People talk about healing their "inner child" and I never understood (not for lack of sympathy but I hadn't acknowledged my struggles) but yesterday, I did.

I was the girl who was bullied for her imagination. I am STILL the woman who is bullied for her imagination. To this day—a published author whose book has touched thousands—and I have a legacy of being one step too far outside our world. One step outside of the norm. Imagining too many beings who don't exist in our world, mourning characters I'd never met, experiencing daydreams of far away lands in minds that didn't belong to mine. At some point it manifested into my writing, it always has, honestly, but this time it was in a tangible form that others could digest. So it became passable? I wrote as a kid and was judged for it. I dreamed as a kid and was bullied for it. Today I dream and I write and though many still judge... I am comfortable. I am confident. I am me.

Yesterday I ran through the woods with a sword and a crown, and @fernwehvisions let me experience the world in a way that my childhood soul would have praised me for. I needed adults in my life that embraced the otherness and made it BEAUTIFUL. She instilled confidence and calm. I didn't feel awkward. I felt like I was exactly where I needed to be.

This is just a little snippet of the photoshoot, so I'm beyond eager to share the rest, but I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Stay tuned for more. Thank you Desiree for making me feel ME.
