PRESENTING by TARA NIKKI xo
❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
I started journaling in 2014, almost 10 years ago—
this is that journal ❤︎
It’s the piece that’s inspired this entire retrospective.
It’s the piece that cracked me open.
only the
SHADOW
KNOWS
❤︎ Reading it back has opened my eyes to the different sides of myself
❤︎ Brought to light parts of me that were lost in the dark & wanted finding
❤︎ And ultimately, it’s helped me see what I’ve needed to move forward
Thank you for seeing me for me—
And I hope it helps if you see some of you, too ❤︎

❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
I release this piece
in honor of the version of me that wrote it.
With this piece, I release all the thoughts & feelings that no longer serve her
— doubt, shame, guilt, abandonment, confusion, lack, inadequacy, anger, and fear —
& embrace her fully in unconditional love.
