Message transcription:
“Alright um, this is one of my journal entries from a couple of years ago when I first moved to Atlanta. Uh, it’s not dated but I kinda know when it’s from.
‘Do I need to be irreparable in order to be creative?
Why is it easier to express myself through pain and heartache?
Here are all the pieces of me.
Why can’t I also be a picture of who I am instead of piles, broken fragments
Is that up to me?
So I paint my own portrait.
Don’t be afraid, be alive.
Feel everything.
Don’t apologize for not fitting the mold, whatever the fuck that actually ends up being.
Pick up your feet, dust off your shoes, and get going.’”
