For a long time after my parents died, I couldn’t draw. Starting up again was hard.”

“How’d it feel when you did?”

“Like home.”

me wanted to say:

I know I’m capable.

I know I can do this.

“I used to believe that we’re supposed to find our path. It took time to realize life is full of paths, like a tree branching out with thousands of possibilities. Unlike a tree, we can go back and choose another path. Life is full of second chances.”

Those sketches were some of the first I’ve done in ages. Now they belong to people I’ve never met. Because of you.”

When I see your drawings, I see you. You’re brave and kind and so fucking beautiful it hurts to look at you.
