Is there anything nicer than being able to forget the time?

Nothing is.

Especially when you love what you’re doing.

I guess this is the reason I went for this course, and why I never left.

Contrary to what most artists do, I don’t draw inspiration from what I’m feeling. I don’t paint what’s inside me.

I paint what’s not inside me.

I’ve always been able to do that: blocking off anything that’s bothering me—even time—and it shows in my work. It’s almost instinctive.

Sometimes this gets me in trouble, like one time when in fourth grade we listened to music then we had to draw what we felt. Hahaha. Tough luck for me, the music was supposedly sad. My work was rainbows and candy canes and stars, complete with Emerald City in the distance. :D

Other than that, though, this works to my advantage. It gives me peace of mind, even for just a few hours.
