Well, if I didn’t force myself to do this, I wouldn’t have met the great people I did. Sometimes pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is worth the risk.

A couple months of trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to present at this gallery, followed by two weeks of procrastinated workload - this has been a constant lesson. Stop leaving things to last minute. Hadn’t I decided this was going to be my passion? Hadn’t I worked all these years to make this dream happen? Then what is this resistance I feel every moment I sit to paint something? That’s life.

There’s no rational reason to not take on events or risks that reward you with new connections, friendships, and opportunity to further your path in life. You can plan and dream as grand as you like, but you will never truly know what pivotal events may happen if you just take that one step.
