Another step forward

Progressing nicely

I was legally blind until I was 16yo. When I was 12, the school I went to gave me an eye exam and told me I needed glasses. I told my mom and she completely dismissed it. I found out because when I went to get my driver’s permit they said I wouldn’t qualify unless I got corrective lenses.

Maybe that’s why I developed such a passion for art. Because pictures were so much more vivid and real to me than the world around me. It also made me pay attention to my kids and actively listen to them, so that if there was anything they needed, I would do something about it.

I finally began to understand that my needs were also important, and learn what those needs actually were, when I got clean and began to get to know myself. I love me, even the moments that I wish I was anyone but me, I love me in those moments. Because I am a tragically beautiful dumpster fire.

Today I just want to be me and do what I do best; Set the canvas on fire.

Meanwhile my dog…

Started a new painting the other day. Here’s the process thus far…
