Not “you need practice.”
Not “you can improve.”
Just: “You can’t do art.”
When you’re a child, you believe things like that.
So I did.
For years.
And then one day… I tried again.
Not to prove anyone wrong.
Not to impress anyone.
Just because something inside me felt safe enough to create.
This piece isn’t perfect.
But it feels magical to me.
Because it’s evidence that words spoken over you are not destiny.
Allah is Al-Khaliq -The Creator.
And He places creativity wherever He wills.
Sometimes growth is quiet.
Sometimes healing looks like patterns on paper.
Alhamdulillah for unlearning limits.
Alhamdulilah for Allah’s endless mercy always!
