So I was in the mood to paint some candy-cute stuff without losing my dark kinda stuff into it and this is the result. I expected this to be done in one day but it took longer lol.

I think the concept here is pretty much clear and unnecessary to talk about cos it can speak by itself but I still wanna talk about it anyway and adding a personal touch to it.

The society always tells us to be a people-pleaser. Like you have to be candy-colored all the time, looking happy, cute and cuddly, and most of all pretty... And whenever they see weird ones they'll automatically outcast you... for being different.

Even though you are just being yourself they'll instantly reject it cos they want you to stay in a box. I think most of us want to be free but just don't do so out of fear of judgment.

Those who stay real with themselves, I see them with courage. I admire their confidence of not giving a fuck about anything. This applies to everyone who doesn't want to conform and/or those who take different paths.

This touches me deeply on a personal level. Before I chose the artist's path, literally everyone around me tells me to be a doctor, nurse, architect, etc. and frowns at me when I tell them I want to be an artist. There's nothing wrong with those jobs, they are a great path too. But my point here is that they think these are the only careers that matter because they are giving you a good salary. They immediately look down on artists because they think art is just a hobby and very unnecessary... and doesn't pay lol.

In general, creatives are being viewed as weird ones because we see things differently. We see things that aren't being noticed by others. But, even though those discouragements exist, we continue to have that burning desire to go straight to our goals and I'm happy for that decision.

I'm happy for those who pursue their passion without giving a fuck what other people think. For those who don't have the courage yet, may you find it soon.

_{But I do think you have already started though. The fact that you're reading this, you're a weird one. I mean, I've been called a weird one because I monetize my content on Hive and be on crypto in general. For sure you have experienced the same. I'm glad you're all staying here. :3 If being weird is doing what you love, then let's be weird together in our Hive.}

By the way, this is minted on the Hive blockchain and will be available soon!

Watch out for the official launch <3
