"Chasing a Childhood Dream" 🌠 My story begins nestled in the heart of my childhood. As the youngest of four daughters, I was the last verse in a song my parents had learned by heart. They knew exactly what a child needed, and they nurtured me with love and patience. Our home was a humble farm in a quaint corner of Thailand. With my parents tending to the fields each day, I found myself alone, but never lonely. This is where the magic of manga (Japanese comics) entered my life. I would delve into these captivating stories, and they would inspire me to pick up a pencil and create my own world. ✏️📘 Though life took me far from that farm, to the bustling streets of LA and the halls of a college where I dabbled in various majors - BioChem, Business, you name it - none of these paths truly resonated with me. Like a faithful flame, the passion for art and storytelling kept flickering in the depths of my soul. Fast forward to this year, 2022. I've decided to honor that flame, to chase my childhood dream and make it my reality. Yes, the world may warn of the struggles that artists face, painting a picture of uncertainty and hardship. But I choose to see it differently. I choose to walk this path that I have carefully paved, trusting in my talent, my passion, and the dream that was born in the heart of a little girl reading manga alone on a Thai farm. 🎨🖌️ Here's to the beauty of dreams, and the courage to make them come true. 💖
