validation

Validation is a big one for me, it has always been, as I can retrace it easily from my early childhood days. It was too easy to care. I experienced different selves. I was constantly divided and immersed in different environments, giving me the insight to understand people. I was good at fitting in, I was so good that I didn’t feel good about it. This uncanny idea of losing oneself in the search of finding oneself. I wanted that validation and that attention, I wanted that love, growing up in a household devoid of these notions, but built upon splintered translations and fights.
