I have a lot of the ideas that are labeled in your article. Not going to school, not drawing as a child, not being driven to do it as a young person. But I struggle even now with the driven part.

It helped that I had made it a project during 2020 so that I would keep busy. It also helped when I started really letting people see my work. Even having it as a background on zoom meetings. I got lots of compliments and then it got easier to call myself an artist.
