Lately, I've been so inspired to make art. Of course, I do not want to divulge too much into exactly what I'm doing, but I'm sure you will be seeing more soon.
Anyways, the Disney princesses have always inspired me. If you asked me to pick a favorite twice (by the way, I have--it's Snow White, but that's more because she and I look alike-ish), the answer would probably change. I'm working on a big project that may help make a dent into me and Ashley's Washington fund (YAYY!). I have always seen posts in different places about the Disney princesses give false hope and high expectations, blah, blah.. I don't think that is so. I think they teach the mantra follow your heart.
Each of these princesses is strong in her own way and each achieved her dream. This is so important to me because a lot of the time my family and friends have said harsh things about me wanting to follow my dreams that take me far away from home and might not make a lot of money. I thought about making sacrifices (like my dreams) in order to make other people happy, but I just don't think I can keep that up in the long run. I'd end up bitter and resentful because I let others hold me back.
One day, I channeled my inner Disney princess and just told everyone like it was--I am going to Washington to live in a small, probably cramped and crappy, apartment with my best friend as a roommate and two cats to be a waitress or maid or something until I can successfully work my way through some sort of art program. I said that I'm sorry, but I feel horrible for the animals being dissected in biology class, I almost failed chemistry, and physics, while it's a lot easier than chemistry, and I'd love to tell Mrs. Duke (my favorite teacher, no hands down) that I aspire to be a rocket scientist because I know it would really make her heart sparkle, I'm just not meant to go into a field that makes buckets of cash (stereotypically). I will be what I want to be, and that's just the way it is.
