I remember the time when I was stuck in this rut, trying to make art that everyone would love? I’d spend hours perfecting every corner of my illustration, hoping for that perfect Instagram shot. But one day, something clicked. I realized I wasn’t creating for myself anymore; I was chasing validation from strangers online.

That’s when I decided to flip things around. I started focusing on expressing myself authentically, no matter how imperfect it looked. And boy, did that feel freeing! Now my art is a reflection of who I am as an individual – messy edges and all.

I want to challenge you to do the same. Next time you create, don’t worry about making it perfect. Instead, focus on tapping into your deepest self and letting that shine through. Your unique voice matters more than anyone else’s opinion ever could.
