I’m painting this series in 2026. While I paint it, I don’t yet realize I’m painting my “staying silent” trauma. I let people walk over me and never stood up for myself. I stayed quiet. Again and again and again.

That you don’t have to squeeze yourself into the shape someone else demands. Every single day, you have the choice to break free and walk a different path.
