I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ME

must keep reminding myself of these words. This is an ATC I made a couple of years ago. The girl is from a family photo which my mother-in-law has in her collection. I have based quite a lot of my art around this girl in the past years. More about her and that art another day. Another from my cereal box art collection.

I AM STRONG. I AM FREE. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ME.

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. To place your ideas and your dreams before them is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He [or she] may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free."
