If life throws you lemons, make lemonade

Since high school, I decided to pursue a career as an artist, even though I had no idea how. Like many of us, I spent some time studying on my own before finding more specific content and communities from the courses I took, but it's not all flowers, is it?

I had a lot of mental problems that unfortunately hindered my growth in art, to the point where I couldn't just sit down and draw, so with this situation, I decided to dedicate myself to finding solutions to these problems, both on my own and with the help of professionals, and so far, many of these problems have been solved and I'm able to develop better. One proof of this was when I received a message from a recent course saying that I was one of the best students, whereas in the others I took I almost didn't manage to hand in the final projects.

Life is difficult for everyone and in different areas, but it's true that we can fight against it all and seek our maturity as we develop.

Everything that has happened to me has led me to have a different view of the world, one that is more resilient, realistic and with strong softskills that are underpinning my artistic process in practice. There's still a long way to go, but I'm grateful that I haven't given up and that I've kept going.

Thank you very much for reading!
