#059: Elias | Creative projects, time in nature, and accepting ourselves

Hi friends! My next stranger-turned-friend, Elias, is a quiet and introspective lover of music. We talk about Elias' experiences as a music student in Finland (he's a drummer boy!) and how My Chemical Romance helped him accept himself as he came to terms with his gender identity and struggles of body dysmorphia. We also explore how becoming more aware of our reactions helps us to be kinder people, and how alone time can be used for creative pursuits and self-reflection. Oh, one last thing - Elias wants to challenge you to go back to an old hobby and give it another go. No expectations or judgment. Go rediscover your old loves again :) Till next time,  Gladys 💌 Come say hi (I answer everything!) : Instagram - @strangerturnedfriend Blog - strangerturnedfriend.substack.com Email - [email protected] TikTok - @strangerturnedfriend
