I want you to look back at your life full of taking chances NOT wondering “what if?”⁠ ⁠ Every regret I have isn’t from trying something and it failing, but from not trying in the first place. ⁠ ⁠ Please, stop caring about what people think. Try stuff, fall on your face, and revel in the fact that you tried. ⁠ ⁠ #art #artist #artwork #illustration #illustracion #ilustração #illustrazione #illustrator #femaleillustrator #femaleartist #loveyourself #selfworth #youareloved #selfloveart #portrait #portraitart #portraitillustration #illustratedportrait #portraitdrawing #motivationalart #inspiringart #inspirationalart #inspirationalquote #motivationalquotes #inspirationalquotes #quoteart #quotes #motivation #lifequotes #quotestoliveby

A funny take on some stunning locations

A spectacular accident

A sterling example of Europop done good

A linguistic quirk

A palate cleanser
