Not letting people’s attitudes get to me has been quite the rollercoaster for me. I tended to take everything people said to me to heart, even if it was just a compliment. I lived in my head and overanalyzed every situation I was a part of. When I entered high school, I was vulnerable and just wanted to fit in.

Maybe in a few years it won’t be through painting, but maybe film. I’m open to changes in my life; I just want to keep doing what makes me a happy
