[@amirahaisyah5414]

I've been binge watching your videos bcs it is sooo helpful!!! Looking forward for your future videossss!!! ♥️

[@shumi885]

I've been wanting to draw for a long time, but didnt really get that much support from others around me, and I also developed commitment issues because I felt that if I wasnt good at something straight away or if it was taking me a little longer to do something then I shouldn't bother. So it would be constantly cycle of keeping up with the drawing and then dropping it after a few weeks. But now, I really want to stay committed to this desire of mine. Its started when I was a child but the cycle continued all the way up to my adulthood, and I am now in my 20s 😭. I just always had so many drawing ideas, but never the talent to put it on paper. So now, I want to stay committed and finally fulfill my dreams of wanting to create my imagination.

[@pamflynn7292]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[@aghniahidayah3345]
