From a year ago

4/27 Edited to

... Read moreLooking back at one of my first paintings brings a mixture of nostalgia and motivation. When I created this piece, labeled as a CLASSIC COLLECTION, it marked the foundation of my artistic path. Early works often capture raw emotion and authentic passion, which makes them so special to revisit. Painting daily has been instrumental in honing my skills and discovering my unique style. Each brushstroke tells a story of trial, error, and eventual mastery. For anyone starting their art journey, I recommend embracing every experiment and imperfection—these are the building blocks of growth. The CLASSIC style I embraced in this early painting helped me understand balance, form, and color theory deeply. It’s fascinating how classic techniques can be the perfect springboard to more contemporary forms of expression. Sharing my early artwork here is also a reminder that every artist begins somewhere. Whether you’re an aspiring painter or simply enjoy art, revisiting early projects can be inspiring. They serve as proof that perseverance and daily practice indeed pay off. I encourage fellow artists to document and share their progress—it builds community and motivates continuous improvement.

My weight loss journey didn’t begin with eating salads and dying on a treadmill. It started with healing my trauma and getting help for my mental health. Without any of that, I wouldn’t have been able to do this journey. I am also so thankful for the medical aid I have in helping me with my PCOS, i

I’m Not Who I Was A Year Ago
This morning, I’m thankful for progress. Not perfection. Not having all the answers. Just progress. Because when I look back, I realize how much can change when we simply keep going. If you’re in a season of growth, even if it’s slow… Keep going. One day you’ll look back and be amazed at how
