Have you ever felt like a puzzle with missing pieces? Yeah, that's how it used to feel. Well, actually still do. I mean, I was born Raven, but that name never fit quite white. Let's see. We'll see. I was born Raven, but that name never quite fit right. It was like wearing some like-y-else shoes. They looked okay on the outside, but they painted a ripped art around places. The one day I discovered art. Not just any art though. My art. I picked up a brush and let the colors dance across the canvas like no one was watching. And guess what? It felt like coming home. See, here's the thing about art. It doesn't care who you are or where you come from. It's like a big messy playground where you can be whoever you want to be. For me, they're meant to embrace all the sides of myself. The ones the sides, they say, they belong together. I'm talking about the Raven side, the Azari side, and everything in between and beyond. It's like being a superhero where a bunch of different alter-egos. Each one with its own superhero. Each one with its own superpower. Only instead of fighting bad guys, I'm fighting to be true to myself. But let me tell you, it's not always rainbow sunshine. There are days when the colors on my palettes seem dull and lifeless. Now wonder if I ever find my true colors again. And then I remember, but then I remember. Art isn't about perfection. It's about expression. So I pick up my brush and keep painting. I let my emotions be allowed onto the canvas, rolling on filter. You know what? It's messy and beautiful. And everything in between. Art has taught me that it's okay to be a work in progress, to embrace the messiness of life and then into something beautiful. And to turn into something beautiful. It's like taking all the pieces of the puzzle and realizing that maybe they would never met to fit together perfectly. Maybe they would've met to be scattered across the canvases. Each one adding to the masterpiece that is me. So here's to embrace the art of size of ourselves. To paint in outside the lines and to find in the beauty in the chaos. Because in the end, that is what makes us who we are. Beautifully imperfect, wonderfully unique and indisously colorful. And indisquisitely colorful. And until next time, keep creating and keeping embracing your many sides. Love always, exit.
