It feels like...
the amount of care that goes into it, you know that you put your soul into it and people can see it.
And I think that's the beautiful part of this.

Quite recently, you were very open about the fact that as much as your world looks beautiful, full of technicolor and moving type and beautiful colors and energy, behind the scenes, the world can feel and be quite different to anything but that you show on the socials.

almost document in a way that you have been dealing with your anxiety because the more voices we have out there to say how it is and what people go through if I'm right I think you said it was more popular than anything you had more engagement on the back of honesty and sharing than any type piece that you put out there is that right?

But what I want to know is how did you realize that's what it is
