I think the thing that most impacted me was feeling a sense of acceptance, of who I was, and who I was made to be.
I feel a greater sense of satisfaction now. I am operating in ways and modes that previously I would have thought of as irresponsible and unnecessary, but are in fact ‘par for the course’
In grasping the notion of skinlessness as a catalyst for creative output rather than as a weakness to be overcome, I now recognise the feeling of being in a state of ‘skinlessness’ and rush straight for the nearest vehicle of creative expression.
The principles that I picked up have really helped to focus me, and to give me signposts along this journey.
