I'm Andy
I think that I can come off as a very aloof person. People say my face is very expressionless, that I don't smile a lot. I've tried really hard to change that about myself. Now I want to tell that version of myself that it's ok to just look like 🗿.
That regardless of what I might appear as, I'm still someone who feels very intensely. It's hard for me to communicate my emotions to other people. But I'm going to keep trying.Â
So that others who feel the same grief, shame, isolation, but also love, can feel heard. I want to keep making and receiving stories. That's why I create.
Thanks for being here!
