One last thing, I felt something today...something close to pride, but quieter.


Seeing my ideas out in the world, fully formed, not just dreamed but executed by me (!!!)was surreal. I’m not a trained designer. I’m self-taught, Canva-taught, trial-and-error taught. But I was trusted. Trusted not just to come up with concepts, but to bring them to life.


And I did.


I learned what I didn’t know. I figured it out. I stayed up late. I rewatched tutorials. I redid things until they clicked. And now, those things, the ones I made (!!!) are being seen around the world.


I’m proud of that. Not in a loud way. In a deep way.

The universe is, indeed, absurd.
