Just a reminder... growing up isn't easy.

It is so easy for some to forget the emotions and struggles children face while growing up. 

My memories of childhood were sometimes lonely. Between the bullies at school who took my lunch money, the feeling of never being listened to, and the longing to be loved... life seemed to have an overflowing river of uncertainty. 

My "little" reminds be so much of myself at that age... I had this painting of mine printed to a poster size, it's on the wall of my studio, there to remind me to always do my part for her.
