Marcus Branch: An Exquisite Message on Self-Love

In the first installment of my Motion Portrait series, i reflect internally on doubt, insecurities, and the importance of self love. I grant myself permission to explore unapologetically instead of remaining prisoner to my own excuses & fear. i affirm that i am capable and deserving of all that i dream and share my reflection to encourage others of the same. Message to Self : A Motion Portrait by Marcus Branch I'm held back by my own hesitance; my own doubt. Why do I question the validity of my expression? If it's needed, if it's pompous, if it's self centered. Why do I feel apprehensive to share me? I feel that the decisions I make need much more weight behind them, thus I wait behind them. I have embers in my heart, burning to ignite the spark that will set aflame this wall I've built. I am art. I am my medium, my canvas, my platform. I am an experiment, I am a theory, I am a thought. I am a force, I am present, I am here. I am more than I know myself to be. I just have to continue to meet me.
