CONTROLLED

I've been looking back at parts of myself I spent years trying to push aside. After being diagnosed with ADHD, so many pieces of my life finally made sense--the chaos, the intensity, the creativity, the struggle to feel understood.

This painting is something I made during that period. I poured every bit of confusion, frustration, and self-reflection into it. The crown, the colors, the messy lines... all the noise and beauty that's lived in my head for so long.

Going back to this old style felt like reconnecting with a version of me I hadn't visited in years. A reminder that even in the struggle, there's expression. There's meaning. There's art.

If you've ever felt like you were fighting your own mind-this one's for you.
