"Courage is being yourself every day in a world that expects you to be someone else..."
 
I have been a dreamer my entire life, I have chased every dream in my heart and have had a pretty damn good life overall. Even with the bumps and bruises and scars I still carry, I am proud that I have always found the courage to be who I am and who I know I was meant to be. This world will suck the life and the passion right out of you if you allow it. There are so many fear junkies, some who want whats good for you and are scared of what might happen if you fail... and then there are fear junkies who simply do not want to see you succeed. Either way, those fears are their burdens to carry... not yours. Be who you are. Stand up for your heart, for your passion, for your dreams and honor who you are by walking in the shoes that were meant for your journey. 

That is what this piece was created out of... I hope you will find encouragment in the art that would never have come to life if I had listened to the fear junkies in my life. #courage #rise #watchmerise #bewhoyouare
