I'm so glad you popped on my feed. I'm also a Filipino artist and your words sparked something in me. I felt like I was reading my own thoughts but through someone else's perspective; it's so beautifully written. 💜

Also, your pieces are STUNNING! Love the imagery and color schemes. You've inspired me to rekindle my love for gouache.

Kylie you are a force of nature! It always so wildly inspiring to see women + artists + people as a whole recognize their own worth and fully embodying that as best as they can. This whole piece is the culmination of your strength and love you’ve cultivated for yourself. I love that you explained how your piece connects to what you wrote about. I always love hearing artists talk about their intentions and process going into a creative project. So this was incredibly refreshing to read. I hope you never lose sight of your purpose 💌

You’re right. Love is a shared activity.

One can love oneself and still not achieve ones requirement.

The is an old expression, A problem shared is a problem halved”, it is also true that love shared is love doubled.

You don’t have to be the change agent, constantly put yourself out there, or any of those other cliches (although being visible helps!), just be open…
