Why did I start this little project?
To bless someone out there in what I have been blessed with.
Growing up I was used to looking at others and wishing I have what they have. Like the ability to sing or dance.
Social media has changed the world, it can inspire, motivate, yet it can also make people feel depressed about their own lives. Indeed, there is only so much a frame can capture. We will never know what lies beyond that. Life is perfect in this four-sided frame.
One day I just decided to stop looking at others and look at myself. What can I do? What do I have?
I have a mind like no other. Sometimes I marvel at what my mind can come up with. I have so many thoughts every single day.. Where do they come from? God, maybe?
I can draw. I also do not enjoy taking all those pretty shots on Instagram all that much. Sometimes, yes. But pretty soon I got tired of them. I am more interested in building something, leaving a trail of creations that can endure the test of time.
Thus, 365 Drawings was born. Stating to do them for a year is a huge commitment to me, I don't even know if I have the discipline to commit to it but since I have already announced it to the world, I got to make it happen.
Did the thought of not having any ideas cross my mind? I did worry about that thought but soon after I know I have nothing to be afraid of. I have too many that I can continue drawing day in and day out. Choosing which to display is already something for me. This taught me to believe in oneself, to have confidence.
I also learnt pretty soon enough that it simply takes time to build an audience. It will come, one fine day, just keep believing and keep going. I want anywool to reach the end of this world!!! Even if you live in Iceland, or the faraway Antarctica, YOU WOULD HAVE HEARD OF ANYWOOL and Catherine.
This is my dream and I will keep running towards it as long as I am breathing. Imagine doing this for 10 years.. the amount of things I would have created simply takes my breath away..... What a beautiful scene that will be, for me to look back on.. not just pretty youthful pictures of myself to remind of my youth once present.
As I am writing this, I want ALL of you to know that WE ARE ALL ONE. ALL of you are BEAUTIFUL.
We are all vulnerable on this Earth, that's why it simply pays to just smile at someone, be kind and love... Be nice!
This is my story.. And I am so glad I am starting on it now. :)
