Reflecting on the inner vulnerabilities and exposure of humanity whilst raising awareness to become more transparent with our emotions. As we have two versions of ourselves – one of which is our surface version which we present everyday, the other is our inner self and it is our inner self that remains hidden. If we presented our inner self more, the ability to talk and self help our own emotions would welcome stronger, and providing an overall better mental health state.
