you know, sometimes i wish my dad was still here. he was the smartest person i knew. he’d know what to say to me in every situation and taught me things that i’ll never forget. he also taught me that nobody’s perfect. nobody has it all together, as much as they want to seem that they do. they can live to be 28 or 88 and they still won’t have it all figured out.
but he did leave me with a piece of advice that will make-up for you not being perfect and it’s be a good person. it’s hard sometimes. obstacles, people will stand in your way but just try.and those bad habits, people, everything negative, will leave.
for the past few months i have been reflecting on this, keeping to myself, drawing, working, photographing. and i have lost some things along that journey. when i say losing things, i mean that in a good way.
i’ve become a more family centered person, my artwork improved and i’ve learned to just let it go.
as i sit here with all of these thoughts swirling in my head, im comforted by the fact that, yes i have done things in my life i’m not proud of, but i’ve learned from them and moved on. that’s the key. moving on. i found that so hard in the past, but it comes so naturally to me now. i just keep the mantra going ‘be a good person’
