I’d been seeing my therapist for a few years when, one day, she blurted out, “Kendra, you’ve been being gaslit your entire life.” It would take me years for the truth of what she said to really sink in. I couldn’t see the forest for the trees. #BlueSkyArtShow #water #gaslighting #PsychologicalAbuse
I’ve been chasing waterfalls all summer.. #photography #nature #hiking #Tennessee #waterfalls #free
I've been trying to push the real world into the background. It's hard to read the news, but also hard to look away. I will be at No Kings tomorrow. I'm not too tired and worn down to give up and roll over yet.. #DefendDemocracy #NoKings #standup #BlueSkyArtShow #background #photography #March
People pleasers aren’t truly focused on making others happy. They are trying to escape the shame they feel when they think they’ve let someone down. Realizing this helped me heal this. #awakening #growth #BlueSkyArtShow #mixedmedia #emotionalhealing #art #scribe #mm52w10 #mixedmedia52

The world has been wearing on me, and I just have to get outside.. It is really a wonderful planet to be on, and I do believe that most of the people here are good. . But why do all the shitty ones have all the power right now? 🤨😔 #sunlight #BlueSkyArtShow

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself. Jiddu Krishnamurti #blueskyartshow #photography #innerstrength #door #bright #youarethekey

There is a difference between a person who hurts you by making a mistake, and a person who hurts you by continuing a pattern. Mistakes can be forgiven. Patterns should be broken. Heather Thompson Day #TrustPatterns #evening #ActionsOverWords #Healing #BlueSkyArtShow #art #Chicago #photography
Returning to myself .. It's been a long week, but I'm learning how to feel relaxed and safe in my own body. #fall #autumn #NatureHeals #NervousSystem #Ohio #ForestFriday #Scape #photography #BlueSkyArtShow
Colonizers of Perspective #MixedMedia #Painting #Art #TheRoad #BlueSkyArtShow #EmotionalAbuse The loss of self is a gradual process in an emotionally abusive relationship. It took years to figure out what was going on, and by then I was so entangled in the mess that it felt like I was the problem.

When women push their feelings down and cast their needs aside, their health suffers. Yet, we do it all the time.. time.com/6319549/sile... #WomensHealth #MentalHealth #autoimmunity #NoMorePatriarchy
When I am surrounded by nature is when I feel the most at home. #BlueSkyArtShow #home #nature
It's the end of my summer vacay, but not the end of summer. We'll still have some more beautiful days like this before winter takes over. #ArtTeacher #BackToSchool #EndOfSummer #Art #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #summer #ToledoOhio
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. #Rumi #quotes #photography #graffiti #art #Stunday #abandoned #BelleIsle #MI #BlueSkyArt#Show

Feelings aren't right or wrong, they just are, and we can accept all feelings no matter what they are... If you can take that in, it will free you up. K.I. Lynn #ArtJournal #CollageArt #gaslighting #feelings #MentalHealthAwareness
