2022 had a turbulent start. I let the fear of getting hurt close my heart. I allowed perfection to prevent me from sharing my art, and then started to tear my ideas apart.
Despite my shortcomings, I believe this year was a crucial part of my development. It was about expanding the scope of my creative endeavors and discovering my unstoppable self. When life got challenging, I turned to my creative outlets, I explored alternative forms of expression, and found a state of flow so powerful my videos practically arranged themselves. The cost of getting back on track was a commitment to the growth mindset and a couple stretches of self isolation. I look forward to another year of learning, failing, and creating.
