Growing up

  1. Illustration: A small child's handprint and a large adult handprint pressed in wet clay on a wooden board, soft window light, a potted plant. You are becoming who you needed when you were younger.
  2. Illustration: A calm lakeside with a single wooden dock and a steaming cup of tea on it, mountains reflected in still water, soft morning light. Growing up is choosing peace over proving a point.
  3. Illustration: A pair of small rain boots beside a big puddle reflecting a blue sky, a paper boat floating in the puddle, fresh green grass. Keep a little child in your heart.
  4. Illustration: A kitchen table at night with a laptop, a stack of bills, a half-drunk cup of coffee and a small desk lamp glowing, a window showing the moon. Adulting is mostly doing hard things tired.
  5. Illustration: An old family kitchen with a worn wooden table, a vintage radio, a calendar on the wall and a pot on the stove, warm afternoon light, no people. Growing up is realising your parents were just people too.
