sweet as sugarpie: What do you like to do?

I've been inspired by Connor Franta's new video "A simple Question". Since I've watched it, I can't help but ask myself everyday.. what do I like to do? what makes me happy?? As in for now.. I'm gonna try and answer it.

What do you like to do?

such a simple question.

My answer is:

I like to create art.

Let me tell you a little something about it.

For as long as I can remember, I've been creative. I used to draw a lot in kindergarten and in pre-school. I guess it was always my hobby to draw and to paint. To combine colours and create a new one. Just to let my fantasy be free, really.

2003 - 2009

This was my Art-folder when I left elementary school. I made it in kindergarten and that's now over ten years ago but I don't think I'll be able to throw it away some day in the near future..

Just having these drawings and crafts and paintings from for my childhood just makes me feel so happy and.. and kinda proud of what I'm caipable doing now that I'm older and everytime I create something new I learn something from it and it makes me proud! I guess I just like this feeling.. of pride.

Even though sometimes I feel like crying and painting all my paintings black because I'm mad or I don't have the patience to deal with anything anymore, I still finish it because after that I can look back at it and say "Wow, I did this myself. I did this myself. I can be proud of myself."

I also really like giving paintings away as presents or just hanging them in my room and when people come in it's the first thing they can see. But I guess this has also something to do with pride.

2005 Liz could say that she was proud of painting this:

2014 Liz can say that she's proud of painting this:

Here are some more paintings of mine:

Now the only question that's left is: What am I trying to achive with this?

Of course I'm doing this because it makes me super happy and proud and I just really enjoy it.. But now I'm at the point where I'm gonna graduate from school in like.. 4 months. So what do I want to do after school? I of course still want to make art. I want people to look at paintings and think "Wow, that's amazing. This person has talent." That is all I want, really.
