“the end”

The End is a submission from Alyssa Hanofee. It was the first piece she generated after a long hiatus of not creating - even for her own enjoyment - because she didn't feel as if she was good enough.

Feeling not “good enough” is a bar that we set for ourselves that makes us feel unworthy. But we are here to tell you, you ARE and gloriously so. We feel your pain, we recognize it and honor your vulnerability.

Alyssa speaks on what her submission means to her.

"Genuine self-love is extending tenderness to the parts of yourself that feel unlovable. No one is immune to imperfection. Self-love is choosing to see the eternal beauty that lives inside you - having the bravery to believe in a brighter future when all you can feel is darkness. Honor the cycles. Celebrate every breath. Happiness is not a destination, but the endless unraveling of everything you are not."
