It’s been awhile…
Like, awhile awhile. I don’t owe any explanation for my absence, but this is cathartic for me and hopefully resonates with others.
I had lost my sense of self. My identity. The things that inspired me to create no longer drove me like they once did. The imposter syndrome set in and took over. At first I thought a break away from art to focus on other areas of my life was the answer. And it was, in a lot of ways. But next thing I knew I was so deep in a creative rut that I wasn’t sure if I’d ever feel the way I once did about creating. For the first time I felt so directionless with my life.
If you’re even reading this, it’s time for a fresh start (something I had put off out of fear of rejection and judgement). But Idgaf anymore. I know my purpose and have a renewed outlook on my dreams. I don’t owe anyone anything and only want to create art for my own joy and fulfillment. Im excited to continuing evolving and growing as a person and artist. Eager to create and not just consume.
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank everyone who has supported me over all these years, even in my absence. The friends, family, and complete strangers making sure I didn’t give up on my dreams. The comments and messages, checking up on me. It all really means a lot to me.
I love you all. 🖤
(P.s. thinking of a limited print run of this shot, lmk if you’d be interested!) 🤞
