Wanting to be

Seen

I'm wanting to be seen. To feel seen. I want to be in a place where I'm comfortable enough to show who I am and be recognized for that! I want to be recognized for trying my best; for doing what I can, with what I got. And being seen in a way that tells me I'm not alone. I mean, how did Leonardo da Vinci make himself seen? By simply picking up a brush! Or... a chisel! He had an idea, made it come to life, and put it out there for the world to see. It must've been so difficult. He must've been so scared. "What will they think...? Am I going to be seen? Will anyone even come to see my artwork?" He's FAMOUS, because he tried. He tried to be seen... because he wanted to be seen. He expressed himself in a way. He told a story in his masterpieces. Who's to say I can't - WE can't - be seen too...? What's stopping us...?
