Most times we only need one person who believes in us to motivate us and you found that out in your visual art teacher.
Sometimes we get a push when we look back from where we started. These are self motivated words
Before- I knew I was capable of other things.
Before- I realised I had the ability to write.
Before- I reengaged my love for art.
Before- I found people who value what I do.
Before- I remembered I had dreams.
Before- I realised I had replaced my dreams with simply surviving.
You are who you want to be and can be who ever you want to be
