I love this quote by John Ruskin. Obviously it speaks to me but the first time I read it - a few years ago I got chills. It made me feel so validated- like there is a perfect little spot carved out for me in the world. Now I know my place in the world a little bit more and I understand my mission here. I also know that the sensitive and emotional qualities that I have are just that- qualities. I didn’t always feel that way... One of the things I love most about color is that to me, it represents individuality. I have always felt like I am a little different than everyone else, but to be honest, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t feel that way. We are all unique individuals and we are all special - and using lots of color makes me feel like we all are somehow represented... like we are all welcomed... like we are all part of the club. Do you love color like I do? π πͺπ¦π©π¨π§ (Thanks to @mariellguzman for reminding me of this excellent quote)
