Courage to Bloom

As an introvert and a shy person, I‘ve often found myself feeling awkward in social situations. I’ve struggled to take up space and to be comfortable around people. Maybe others haven’t noticed, because I’ve been trying so hard to disguise it. As I got older I’ve realised it’s been costing me a lot to try to be someone I’m not, and that it’s actually OK to just be who I am.

Maybe some of you can relate?

For as long as I can remember I’ve found joyful moments and a feeling that I can be myself when I draw or paint. Even when life has been tough and during times when the world around us can be chaotic.

Recently I have found the courage to show my artworks in public, to take up space with my art, and perhaps even more important…

… I have found courage to be myself. And I hope to inspire others to be courageous, in there own way, as well.
