What's the Word?

I can say I’m happy for myself this time!

It’s that sense of validation. All that wondering if my artwork would be seen the way I see it. If it had some value. If I really was good enough. 

I definitely know that the road ahead of me isnt any easier, but I can say I am validated. And that all the amazing things people have been telling me are true. 

I’m so grateful for all the support I’ve gotten lately. Truly. I think it’s a difficult thing sometimes to see yourself for exactly who you are. And I think we all need that sometimes, a bit of re-assurance. A bit of new perspective. It’s been a really crazy, rocky road. It will continue to be for sure. 

I’m glad i’ve grown. Im so thankful for everyone along the way. The obstacles included. I’m also pretty speechless, but in my mind there are so many things I’d like to say to everyone of importance. 

I guess for you all, 

know that i notice all the little things, it pushes me to do great. I try to convince myself that I can do everything on my own. I’d love to think that’s the truth. Thank you for not letting me act that way.
