I love this collection of images because at first glance we see a woman – but upon closer inspection we see her soul.

When I asked about the inspiration behind this collection of images I was sent the following:
“I have to remind myself sometimes that even when I feel like I don’t matter, I do. We get so blinded by other people’s light that we forget to enjoy our own. Your stars are just as bright, important and lovely. We are all flawed. We are all trying. We all have work to do. Remember your worth and acknowledge your hard work thus far.” Glow worm, Alex Elle
To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don’t worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest
