This collage has stemmed from recent night terrors that I've experienced, particularly dealing with lack of sleep. Dealing with anxiety of trying to find employment, trying to take extra classes before I graduate on my own, and figuring out what it is I really want to do in the future have taken a toll on my mental health. There have been endless days that have felt like a constant battle of trying to simply get out of bed and remind myself that things are happening the way they are right now, and the time to do anything is always right now. With optimism being my ultimate comfort to get by, my dreams are something I cannot deny, much less sleep through.
Hence this collage art, I decided to take one of my favorite photoshoots I did almost a year ago and turn it into something more than what I thought it could ever be. The process did indeed help and serve as a sort of catharsis for these feelings, as well as an opportunity to take work that I don't show and make it something entirely different.

I recently won 245 Steem from @good-karma during his Steem Advent yearly contest by simply leaving a 3 sentence comment. I am still dumbfounded by his generosity! $1200 from a single comment - How's that for inspiration? :)
