Taken July 20, 2018 acrylic paint
I’ll admit, it’s taken a lot for me to start sharing my art publicly again—not just with friends, but with anyone who happens to see it. I never pursued art professionally; it was always just a hobby. Part of me was afraid that turning it into a career would make me lose my love for it. Ironically, I ended up losing that passion anyway by not pursuing it at all, and that’s a regret I still carry.
Now, I’m slowly finding my way back after a major burnout at work. I kept telling myself I could learn to love a job that was physically and emotionally draining—that maybe I’d feel a sense of accomplishment if I passed some big national exam and climbed the ladder in the medical field. But that moment never came, and eventually I had to face the fact that it probably never would.
So this is me, starting again—without any big expectations. Just creating, sharing, and trying to reconnect with something that once felt like home. Maybe that’s enough for now.
