This fear continues to grow, as one gets older, such as when an individual develops the ability to walk. Before we took our first step, we all had the innate fear of falling over. This happens to everyone on the first try but we keep trying again until finally we can walk and then eventually run. Often I find myself asking what if I didn’t take this first step because of fear? This seems unimaginable but the more I think about it a lot of us are hesitant

People in power use this to manipulate everyone and obey because from the beginning we are taught to do just that.

Of course I was joyous for her accomplishment, but that meant that I hadn’t won. After the hours of work that went into my entry, the fact that I lost my first contest was a massive dissatisfaction. I felt that I had no talent and that maybe my friends were becoming better and I was leveling off with my talent; I felt that I should give up on art. This few days of disappointment were far from easy, but after my grief came a spark of light. I realized that one contest shouldn’t determine the sum of talent I have, and that just sitting around wouldn’t get me anywhere. It became time for me to stop sulking and start making art again, but this time with motivation and persistence. After this moment, I became happy with my art and built up the courage to enter another contest. This time I had unexpectedly won, and my lucky streak has continued.
