Thank you for this peek into your personals ... your story can inspire many with parallel thoughts and struggles. In my art classes during college, there were many times where my teacher would encourage me to &quot;paint over&quot; what I had already worked on or &quot;start again&quot;. All the hard work and hours that I have just put into this??? Are you KIDDING me???? But inevitably, this brought about a stronger, more creative final product. Yes, it was painful and almost humiliating to have put forth SO much effort into a piece only to have to begin all over again. Each time, I put a bit of what I had learned with the first piece together with inspirations from the current class room and my own life&#039;s teachings into a new and improved product. 
Yesterday, after a long day of painful admissions and unjust labels, I knew it was time to begin to paint over my cluttered and complicated canvas. Through tears and tremendous anxieties, new colors and techniques are beginning to materialize. I am struggling to keep my face to the light and my faith rather than dwelling on the defeat of my failed painting. There is a reason this is unfolding in the manner in which it is ... 
Thank you for your story TJ and know that the changes you are making to your life painting will be grand and more beautiful than what it had been before!! &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3 Amberhearts</description>
