Thank you so very much! I am glad my story and words can help remind others that opportunities will always come. They most certainly do ebb and flow!!
You are very welcome. I am just happy to be a part of this lovely community. It makes me happy to be able to continue inspiring others who may need a reminder that they are going to get through any difficult struggle and challenging time because new doors that lead to a positive direction, will forever open.

This means a lot to me. Thank you so much. I have recently endured many life challenges and they have tested my own strength and mental health yet again, making me question what is going to come next in my life.
However, I know something bigger and better is coming.
I’m sure I will be more active here soon as well. It is taking some time, but I know I can get through it and be who I was always meant to be.
Thank you again. I am so glad to share my story with a huge desire to help inspire others, and to keep inspiring. Darkness cannot stay around forever, as the light will always shine through.

Aww thank you so much!! That means a lot to me. I’m glad I am also helping to inspire others. You have such great wisdom as well and It makes me happy that you found this site and Lauren as well!! This is truly a great platform. I for one couldn’t be any happier I found this as well!

Thank you so much, Roger!!! Everyone I met and continue to meet here through this platform and through Lauren and the Unsealed has truly made me so grateful and blessed. To be able to receive all your kind words and feel a sense of confidence to continue with my art and spreading inspiration is truly rewarding for me as well. Love you all!!

Hi, Kayjah!!
Aw thank you so much for your kind words!! That means a lot to me. I needed to hear and read that this morning, so I appreciate you for commenting this on my letter!! I cannot wait until I am able to keep up with my artistic journey and balance it with everything else that is going on, so I can truly thrive in life!! There is so much good and happiness to look forward to, and will come!

It’s totally ok!! I completely understand about needing to do self care. To be honest, I’m not in a good mind state at all, and I think I need to go seek treatment. I’m so scatterbrained but I can’t seem to allow myself to rest or do any form of self care at all.
I need to finish some commissions first though before going away because I need to have that off my mind so I can get a clear mind.

I hope you had a great trip!!!

Maybe we should get together on the phone sometime so we can talk more! I definitely would love to catch up more and all!
It’s also easiest for me right now!

That’s so cool!! Zodiac signs are so interesting.
Yes, I really do need to take time for myself. I’m slowly starting to, I think. My mind is just so jumbled and all over the place.

I find inspiration in many places: Instagram artist reels of how they do their paintings or drawings so I can improve, I find inspiration in the sky when it sets or rises, I find inspiration when I meet random people who have had nothing in life, only to become so much greater and choose to inspire others based off of their lived experiences and stories.
I want to be successful like them one day, and know in my heart I’m inspiring so many others.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. That must be so hard. You’re definitely a blessing to her and I’m sure she’s very grateful.

Oh wow! Sometimes I wish I could get a reading from someone without paying them because some mediums out there use their ability not for the greater good, so a natural conversation to me would be so amazing if it were to ever happen!! Lol! And yes, I truly am an empath and sometimes it’s hard, but I like to believe that it makes me who I am and gives me the unique ability to connect with every single human, no matter the circumstance or how awful they could treat me. I still always try my best to be there even if he ever takes a toll on my own mental health.

I am doing to start recording progress videos and tips and tricks because I have to start teaching lessons to the kids in this summer art program I’m working for at a school. I want to record myself and post them to YouTube so they and others can follow along!!
I even started making them all homemade adorable mini sketchbooks LOL.

And aw ok! Thank you so much for understanding!
My Instagram is @heartsome.creations and my Facebook is called mazzolaheartsomecreations!!

I love having a pen pal as well. It’s fun to connect.
Talk soon and take care :)!

Thanks, @theunsealed!! You have such a beautiful heart & way with words.

I so know what you mean on how it gets expensive to visit Florida or anywhere, if you do not know anyone!!
I would love to offer you a place to stay once we get to connecting more & once I settle in at a new place. I need to move soon due to some circumstances that I need to really start considering for my future. It is very unhealthy where currently live (I live with two guy roommates) and sometimes one of them is toxic due to drinking too much when he’s home.

I cannot wait to keep communicating & connecting with you!!

My sign is Leo. My service dog is named Leo !! I LOVE that name. I am 100% Italian, so the name “Leo” just resonates with me. My great grandpa was also nicknamed Leo for short.

ALSO!!! Yes, the sand between my toes & also just being on the beach ALLOWS me to be PRESENT….something I really really struggle with lately, and I never let myself or allow any room for “self-care”.

Does it rain a lot in Colorado? I absolutely love when it rains if I am at home and doing some art or in the night when I am trying to sleep. It calms me so much.

And oh wow!! That is so cool. I have always wanted to connect with spirits especially those that I love whom have passed. I always wonder what it’s like to be able to connect. I feel like that would be so emotionally draining at times but so rewarding.

I just followed your TikTok!! I am trying to make it a goal to make my own art tiktok, but I only have one for my service dog and I do not post much on there because it is sooo hard to keep up with both Instagram and Facebook, and cannot imagine taking on another social media account to post content to 🙁 One day, hopefully!!!

Sorry again that it took me so long to respond. It will get better soon once I finish all my art commissions and all!!
Hope you are doing well this Sunday!!

Hi!!
I am so sorry I have been the worst pen pal!! Ugh! I got really sick for awhile and have been trying to catch up in so many things since feeling a little better.
It’s so nice to meet you!!
I love having a pen pal.
I am Alexandra, but you can call me Allie! I am 27 years old and currently in a masters program for art therapy!!

Sadly, I can’t remember a compliment at the moment either :/
But wait…maybe actually…any of the compliments I’ve been receiving by beautiful Ms. Lauren here, whenever she sees my progress on this huge NYC painting I’m working on for a customer!! It always brightens my day when I read her compliments! She even shows her mom and her mom compliments me as well. Whenever someone compliments me on my artwork and how much I’ve grown as an artist, it’s truly a whole new different and amazing feeling; especially after years and years of being put down, bullied, or made fun of.
I’m going to answer your questions now 🙂

Where I am from:
Orlando, FL!! Originally from Connecticut :)! I moved here in 2016, So I know EXACTLY what you mean by being familiar with the cold!! I hated it. But nothing felt better than nights where I’d fall asleep with my window open and the cool winter or fall breeze would come through my screen while I was trying to sleep or fall back asleep.
Being in Florida, I don’t get that often anymore and it’s so hard to fall asleep when I am always so hot! I only have the fan on every night but sometimes it’s not enough.

What I like to do?:
I LOVE to draw and paint, and also go out and take photographs, however sadly, I haven’t done that in a very long time 🙁
I also enjoy singing and always have since I was very young! I love to do karaoke LOL and when the pandemic hit, a Facebook page came out and got so popular called “Quarantine Karaoke” and I joined and I was able to go live and sing whenever I wanted, and the audience always grew! I loved how I developed some “fans” and lifelong friends as well through there, even though I personally don’t think I sounded that good! LOL!
Anyways- I, too, love to write but I also haven’t in awhile either and REALLY need to get back to it. I’m currently still in process of writing an inspirational book, but haven’t really touched it since 2018 or so 🙁
But it’s also going to be blog posts on my art website!
I’d love if you checked it out! Its a work in progress currently and I have to add so much more stuff to it, but feel free to let me know what you think!!
It’s https://www.heartsomecreations.com
🙂
Again, sorry it took so long for me to reply. I hope It’s ok that I am getting back to you this late!!
Talk soon & much love sent your way!
