Evanna Lynch Instagram – Hello again, Instagram!
Here are some new pics by my incredible friend and iconic queen of headshots @fayethomasphoto 📸
It’s Spring so I thought time for a revamp, and to reset the energy on here… 🌅
I am officially entering a new era with my instagram page and my relationship to you all! With Intention, Purpose and Boundaries. 😌 ✍️ 🙅🏻♀️
When I started this page, I treated it so casually. I’d post a picture of a cake, my cat, a campaign for ending something terrible, etc etc. It was 5 minutes of reckless expression at the end of a busy day. 🤪
In recent times it just got all too overwhelming. Constant, constant asks. This campaign, that brand, that mission, this person and their mother who is dying of an incredibly rare and painful disease who you ought to help, you monster!! As a people pleaser, it’s very hard to say no to people I like/admire. You have to watch the disappointment meet their eyes or witness the abrupt coldness of their replies, which hurts. You wonder what are any relationships based on, if not a cheerful readiness to intuit and respond to needs. Who sticks around if you stop being nice and say what you think? Who is pleased when you stop people-pleasing? I wasn’t! 😢
I withdrew from this space because it’s easier to just say ‘I don’t do that anymore’ and not give an opportunity to ask. However, behind this boundary is the fear of expressing myself because I feel it is not as worthy. That old familiar battle of justifying the space I take up and not just giving it away. I have been cowardly in my self-expression, not sticking up to that voice that says ‘best do nothing and quietly disappear’. And what’s more, I feel sad to have lost my connection to you all. Connection is a core value to me and something I’d like to reclaim.
So I’m going to show up more, sharing my life and work, while keeping my boundaries tight. I’ll be sharing my writing process, acting projects, and my love of animals, crafts and aerial, and that’s about it for now. I am keen to connect in a more meaningful way but for now I’m focused on Self-Expression 🗣️ 🎨 ❤️🔥
Here’s to a colourful and expressive Spring. 🌳🪺🌱 | Posted on 04/Mar/2024 19:05:01
