Early experiences can have a lasting impact on how we perceive our abilities and worth.


This reflection explores how a single moment shaped an internal narrative, and how over time, the presence of other voices contributed to a gradual shift toward self trust and integration.


It speaks to the long term impact of early messaging, and the equally powerful role of mentorship, affirmation, and relational experience in reshaping it.


~ Haide

I acknowledge that my work takes place on the traditional, unceded, and ancestral territories of the Stó:lō people — including the q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), qw̓ɑ:nƛ̓ə̓n̓ (Kwantlen), Mathxwí (Matsqui), Semá:th (Sumas), Leq’á:mel, and Semiahmoo First Nations — and I am grateful to live and work on these lands.
