Barred from Love
In this series, I explore fear as well as my naiveness to relationships, love, and the war of loving myself. I have never been in a romantic relationship before. I was inspired to create this series by a comment said to me by by an old friend of mine that sent me into a state of stress, curiosity and contemplation. She said, “I don't think you are ever going to find anyone to date, to be honest”. I brushed off this comment at the time, but thought about it as time went on. Along with this comment, I questioned myself. Do I deserve love? Is it too late for a relationship? This work delves into feelings like my insecurities, the challenge of loving myself, the pressure to be in a relationship from society, feelings of jealousy and feeling broken.
