19 - SPACE

There comes a point when the horizon stops feeling like something out of reach and starts feeling like something available to you. When the life you've been glimpsing in stolen moments begins to feel genuinely within your grasp.

​

When there are no distractions, no constraints, no one else's version of who you should be, you are left with space. Real space. Space to think your own thoughts through to their natural end. Space to sit with the question of what comes next, without needing to answer it immediately.

​

The woman in this painting sits with the vastness of it all and senses a world of possibilities ahead of her — hers to shape.

​

It was in moments like these that I decided I would share my story through painting and writing, in the hope it would inspire others to choose their own path too.  

​

Space can give us this, if we create space for ourselves.
