❤️❤️😭 This resonated deeply ~ I had a difficult time giving away or selling my art. Because, as you noted well, there lies my soul, exposed, for all to see.
Your poetry captured this truth.
A reminder, that, no one has the right to any part of us and without our permission. Boundaries. And so, it is perfectly OK. Artists to sell all their pieces and often are found after they are gone.

Thank you for sharing vulnerably.
