“Now or never,
guts over fear baby,
blood over anxiety,
art over everything,
sweetheart.”
– Poppy Koning

One of the ‘positive’ things about hitting rock bottom is, after a while you know there’s only going up from now on. Fighting a battle on the inside, having my own blood literally on my hands, that shows me that I fought for what I wanted in life. If I didn’t got so sick in the Summer of 2016 due to Lyme disease, survived my burnout and dealt with anxiety, I wouldn’t be an artist. No guts, no fucking glory.
