The world can be cold and callous. Its looking at the good in the world that brings out the best in people. Trauma isn't something to shame.

Im always a mix between abstraction and expression. In either music or painting, its all about bringing energy. I usually get 3 reactions, pity, disgust or envy. I am myself to the truest form. Every action I make follows the path I set to walk. It took me a long time to figure out myself.
Where do you find inspiration?My mother was and still is my biggest inspiration. She lost her battle so I carry on in her name. Every win for me is a win for her. I grew up poor and shunned by our family as she did. The smiles I bring to those around me keep me going. Without the people I chose to support me I'd be lost.
What would you do with $25,000?20000 would go to the Trevor project. They deserve the money. The other 5 grand would be split between bills and taking my partner on a nice holiday. My biggest supporter. The one who keeps me going. Without him I'd have lost myself to grief.
