Painting My Path

by Aashvi G.

When I say, “My thoughts wander freely, painting with bold and effortless skill. Exploring unique ideas, in a diverse flight, turning mistakes into paths of light.” Someone says, “You call that bold and an effortless skill?” 

When I state, “Swirling creativity’s fog, ideas burst vibrant ideas. Each stumble teaches, every mistake guides, owning my vision, and facing the reality.” Someone says, “Pfft, more like stumbling around in a foggy mess trying to pass off mistakes.” 

When I mention, “Freeing my thoughts to wander, fearless and bright, in creation where tales come to life. Words, in patterns yet unseen, my artistic journey unfolds in life.” Someone comments, “Fearless and bright? Sounds more like bragging.” 

I just say, “You are wrong and I will prove so. Mistakes are how I grow, not obstacles. Being fearless means believing in my journey despite doubts.”
