Sophie Wolf on Instagram: “How do you teach your heart to see yourself first? I’ve been thinking about this lately.
About the delicate balance between seeing and being seen. It’s so natural to recognize beauty in others —
to praise, to mirror, to celebrate what’s luminous in them. Almost as if our hearts were trained to love the reflection before loving the source. But somewhere along the way, we forget that we, too, are part of that beauty. That our light deserves the same gaze, the same reverence we offer so freely. So this is where I am — in the slow and unsteady journey of learning to see myself first, before I start seeing everyone else. The journey of creating more space for myself, before I hold more space for others.
