Here is the final product of my zine. I must confess that I made a couple of other pages I decided not to include in this post because they are too personal. All of these pages have excerpts of my personal journal or quotes from conversations I remember having with others, and those two other pages had the most intimate quotes. However, I don't mind summarizing them for you all. One of the pages was about my childhood and how I was raised. I had a lot of problems with my parents, and I am still dealing with a lot of emotional baggage. Nonetheless, I like to think that all the suffering I went through helped me find some of the best parts about myself. The other page talks about when I was diagnosed with body dysmorphia, and how my body image has changed (for the better) over the years.
Overall I am very proud of the final product. I don't think I have ever put this much me into a project. I felt very vulnerable when I was making it, and I guess that was the whole point after all. I don't have an answer to my question yet, but somehow this zine and exploring who I am helped me a little? I don't know what is my truth, but I feel closer to figuring it out.
