Artist's commentary
Back in October of last year, I had a lot of inner turmoil about what path I needed to follow in life. My dream is, and has always been, to be an idol.
Unfortunately, at that time I was so beaten down mentally that I didn't think it would ever be possible. So, I silently made the mental decision to graduate.
Instead of following my dreams, I'd focus on school and trying to make a mundane career out of my life. A lot was truly on my mind at that time of my life, and I thought that was the best decision to make for me.
A lot has changed since then.
I'm still a ways away from reaching my idol dream, but since January there has been a ginormous amount of people suddenly noticing me and deciding with their hearts that they want to support me. This means more than the world to me.
The reason I'm making this post is to show you guys the beautiful artwork that #koahri1 made for my graduation at the end of last year. She is single-handedly the sweetest and most passionate artist I've ever had the pleasure of working with more than once, and I want her work to be seen by the world. She poured so much love into this piece and went above and beyond with details I didn't even ask for. (And I'm happy I can show you today in a good light; not with any bad news attached ♡)
Thank you cweampuffs for turning my life around, and setting me back on course to follow my dream. I love you! Thank you Koahri for the stellar piece that still makes me cry to this day..! Thank you everyone.
