Growth isn't easy...

But it's very necessary. Change is one of those things I like to avoid. I think many people could identify with that. But I'm learning that as I grow and mature, change is inevitable and it can help me become a better and more confident individual.

Maybe you're in your senior year of high school (or college like me) and you feel like the Real World is coming for you way too fast. Rest assured, you're not the only one who is feeling overwhelmed. Know that it will all be okay! You have people that love you and want you to succeed, so keep leaning on them for support. It sounds super cheesy, but trust me, you don't have to be scared of the future. If you are, take a deep breath and just put one foot in front of the other until you find yourself walking with your head high. We've got this!

This is my friend Payton! She is a senior at Moberly High School and was so much fun to work with. I remember when we took Art I together when she was a freshman and I was a high school senior. It was so great to reconnect with her and capture her beautiful smile.
