Learning to Stay —  choosing presence over escape.
It speaks to the experience of learning to remain with oneself: in the body, in the truth, in the skin we live in. Not as an act of perfection or arrival, but as a courageous movement toward self-acceptance.
 
This piece reflects the space between longing and belonging — where old patterns of self-abandonment begin to soften, and a new relationship with the self is forming. There is vulnerability here, and honesty, and the strength it takes to stay when leaving has always felt easier.
 
Learning to Stay serves as a mirror for those learning to love themselves as they are — not by changing, but by remaining.
 
Perfect for
Collectors who feel drawn to themes of:
• self-acceptance & embodiment
• healing the relationship with the body
• personal growth through presence
• vulnerability, honesty & inner courage
