"Confidence and self-awareness can and do coexist along with insecurity, and everyone goes through life navigating and adjusting their own specific recipe. Within that recipe, too much confidence or insecurity can either engorge or delete one's sense of self, and the people you surround yourself with make the difference."

"Our perceptions of others are often reflections of our own insecurities...social acceptance is both desired and dangerous...true self awareness comes from understanding who you are and who others think you are."

"Self-awareness, while a trait that makes some of the best friends, lovers, leaders, and storytellers, is also a cousin of insecurity. What are they going to think of me now? Did that come across as insensitive? Is it just me or Did I bomb that entire thing? Confidence and self-awareness can and do coexist along with insecurity and everyone goes through life navigating and adjusting their own specific recipe."

"...What matters isn’t the address, but the feeling—the sense of alignment between your voice and your surroundings, where creativity flows not because it’s easy but because it’s authentic. When you find it, you’ll know, and your work will speak from a place that is unquestionably yours."

"Finding your creative home isn’t about permanence—it’s about recognizing the place that both challenges and recognizes your voice... your creative home might be where you were born, where you choose to live, or somewhere you’ve never physically been. It might change as you evolve, requiring you to pack up and find new walls to echo your voice."
