Growing up, I always loved drawing and spending time being creative. Nowadays, I don’t get much time to do so, and this project really carved out time in my schedule to spend time doing something I love. This project really taught me that in order to feed my creativity, I need to engage in things that challenge me as well as utilize my creative outlets more. It also showed me that I need to spend more time doing things that give me joy.
