Behind the Mask

Hi, world,

Meet Juliyana. Most of you know her only as Yana which is fine because Juli is an introvert and shies away from attention.

Juli is still in the process of waking up from a deep sleep, a prolonged bad dream where she lost her identity, her sense of self.

Yana emerged from that chrysalis.

Juli is getting used to her new freedom, relearning how to flap her wings and fly while Yana is always raring to go, go, go!

Yana has the energy and passion of two Julis!

Sometimes Juli goes into a funk thinking about experiences past that is deeply embedded in the psyche.

Yana amazes Juli. Yana is brave, brooks no bs, decisive — and fiercely protective of Juli.

“Are you really me?” Juli asks in wonder.
