It's the way into my mind, but only I know the way.
"when you touched me, I felt everything" was created to express what it feels like to be vulnerable.
I learned to repress my emotions from a young age which made it difficult for me to express myself. To be vulnerable even with the people I loved the most felt painful however, I hadn't fully realized then was that bottling all of those emotions was causing me just as much pain. Letting people in wasn't easy and I'm sure it will still cause me pain at times, but at least I wont be alone with my thoughts all the time.
This painting resembles me finding the light within myself after years of repressed pain and allowing the ones I love to finally hold me.
