Hm so my latest project for my Digital Imaging class is to create a self portrait that reflects how I’m feeling internally. At first I was a little uncomfortable revealing such details to an entire classroom of strangers, but after talking to my teacher about my ideas I’m actually looking forward to it. They say in many of my art pieces they can tell I put a lot of emotion into them. I didn’t even realize this, but looking back at them I can tell I did. Looking at these projects I can’t help, but to smile at how far I’ve actually come. Before I’d never draw something that shows my emotions let alone show it to other people, but here I am doing it unconsciously. It’s made me realize that even without knowing it I’m change little by little and opening up to more people. So now if I keep at it and try hard enough, I’m sure I’ll reach the transformation I’m seeking. A transformation into a more carefree person who can laugh and speak freely with confidence. So if anyone out there is going through similar situations let me say this…don’t quit. I know many people before me probably said the same thing, but listen to those people and maybe chat with them a little. It’s good to get things off your chest and talk to others. It’s good to find ways to express yourself and want to change. If you want change visualize what it is you want to transform into and go for it as best you can! A good way to start is to pick up a pencil and write or draw it out. It doesn’t have to be good, just use it to express yourself and show it to the one person you trust the most. Believe in new possibilities and go for what you want.

I hope you all are doing okay. I wish you all good luck in your futures! :)
