I thought it would be funny to make a list of the thoughts that were running through my mind at the time- just a lil' banter lol.
Last weekend, I finally built up the courage to get myself to a gallery. It may not seem like a big deal to some people, but for someone that gets quite anxious and is very self-conscious...it's a pretty big milestone.
Truthfully, I didn't have a choice. I had to film something for my portfolio, which had to be submitted to one of the universities I'm applying to. But, I'm so so grateful for the experience. I don't even care if I get into this university or not (I care a little not gonna lie), I'm happy I ignored my anxious self and went straight for it. It's strange because everything I saw, in terms of art was inspiring, but being there itself, surrounded by people who share a similar interest, it's very comforting and even more inspiring.
I know I'm not the only that has a bit of a anxiety issue, to be honest, I think everyone at some point in their lives has to encounter it. However, I encourage you to put yourself in a situation where you have to overcome it whether it be going out by yourself or talking to a stranger. The feeling you get afterwards is beyond rewarding.
Goal for the next time I go: Spark a conversation with a stranger.
Good luck,
