I bought some clay on july 2022 which was so expensive , also bought some basic tools for sculpting . Then began my first project which was something i made out of boredom. It turned out funny but was happy doing the craft . More more sculpting continued and my family convinced me to sell it . Which I wasn’t comfortable with since i was scared to show my works to the public but decided to do it . I knew that sculpting was something i want to actually continue doing in the future  so i had to eventually let go of my fear .

She is such a sweet cat , i never felt like it was too hard to have a pet . She made it so  easy for me . We named her yume which means dream . She gets a bit hyper at times usually when it’s midnight . She likes attention and food . Whenever we eat dinner she needs our food but since cats can’t eat spices and some vegetables we usually don't give him . She likes to open her mouth whenever we try to take pictures and it’s so adorable to see . Her favourite food is minced chicken lover and chicken broth.she gobbles it up in minutes

Whenever my teacher asks me what my passion is or what goals I have in life  , i’ve had different answers such as being a fashion designer, a chef ,a pottery artist or even to be a receptionist in a supermarket as I liked the sounds the machine made when they bill the products. this changes and differences made me question myself whether I would ever have a constant dream or passion . later when I was in 8th grade I realized that god has given us able time and sources that one could have more than one passion to pursue . this may be right or wrong but living without exploring things you like maybe something one may regret in the long run . one thing I noticed was that I liked being creative and all the dreams aligned with it . after I graduated high school , I joined an institute to  do a 1 year diploma in fashion designing that experience in learning made me realize how happy and fulfilled i was doing the things I on...
