This is not about struggling it's about a young boy's dream & him looking how far he has come.
I grew up in a place where the drainage system is barely moving or stagnant, full of dirt and a breeding ground for mosquitoes, weed grows by this drainage its an opened one so we could see the water in it is black & I mean black and not in a figurative manner, among the weed you could see some flowers, I noticed this every last Saturday of the month when we have to rake out the dirt from the gutter.
This is what I personally call people who make out of this environment "flowers by the gutter" I grew up in lower middle class home so we were fairing well, reaching my community you'd know this is where lower income to poor people lived, but as time went on things became better but thanks to bad economy policy implementation things got weird & I knew what it really was to lack essentials.
This wouldn't last at least for me personally I started supporting myself and I went from watching flowers by the gutter to trying to become one & I haven't stopped trying to bloom so I could be plucked & kept in a fancy vase.
I keep trying by doing what I know how to do best (art) & going all the way with it, I tried to sell merch, tried selling prints, tried painting, stopped painting, went into digital art, went back to making prints & it kind of went well, went back to painting again & I've never given up on my digital art, have I thought about giving up on it, yes, sometimes but never did I and with the advent of NFTs it only renewed my faith in this path and along with it a home for my digital art. I'm going all out & I'm never stopping.
I'm going to bloom & I'm appreciative of all the help I got on my journey to my fancy vase.
