Through my art, you’ve probably seen how I tried to express everything I couldn’t say out loud. 2025 was a storm — a year full of trauma, stress, and moments I never imagined I’d have to face all at once. It messed with my mind and my heart more than I expected.

In 2026, I want to show up for myself—through drawing EVERY day, through writing, through reading, through creating. I want to turn the chaos into something that feels like growth. I want to slowly let go of the heaviness buried inside me and make space for something lighter.

I want to draw more — to create every single day.
To write more.
To read more.
To finally be productive in a way that heals me, does not hurt me.

I want to let go of the despair that’s been holding on so tightly. I’m not ashamed of being expressive — it’s who I am. And I hope more people allow themselves to be that honest too.

Even when I’m breaking on the inside, I still try to enjoy the moment before it disappears.

(I will draw more this year and actually draw EVERYDAY)

Displeasure.

sometimes
i feel like i’m falling
not through the sky
but through my own soul
into a darkness
i didn’t know was there
the weight of my own thoughts
pulling me down
deeper
into a place where my voice echoes
but no one hears

i reach out
but there’s nothing to hold onto
not even myself
because how do you catch yourself
when you’re the one letting go

and maybe
this fall
isn’t about finding wings
or learning to fly
maybe it’s about losing
everything i thought was precious
letting the light fade
until all that’s left
is the emptiness
of knowing
i’ve lost
even the pieces
i used to hold onto
now
they’re just shadows
that slip through my fingers
like everything
else.
