theivytorres: Hi ate valerie! It's odd but I feel like you have a really nice room, i hope you could show it to us some time :) And, I don't know how many times you've already heard this but I hope you're not yet tired of it, but you are great at what you do :) You inspire me <3

Thanks Ivy! The room I used to have is with my sister now. I migrated to a run down guest room. The comforter and the curtains are severely ripped. Right now it’s in its least presentable state. I promise to find time to renovate and fix, and I promise to share photos when it’s done. :)

Words like yours really motivate me to work and try harder so it’s definitely not tiring to hear! It’s really touching and whenever I feel bad about myself, it reminds me that there are people who believe in me.

I’d like to say to everyone, thank you! Everyone feels terrible about their work once in a while (or even in lengthy streaks). Please don’t give up! Just keep working. There are bad days, but definitely, there will be good days. And always remember that there will always be someone somewhere who likes the things you do, and there is someone (a friend, a stranger) who is rooting for you, I think that’s enough reason to believe in yourself. Work to make yourself happy. :)
