I know I'm usually not this serious in my videos. But hey, sometimes being serious isn't a bad thing.

If you or anyone else is going through something like this, please don't be afraid to ask for help. You are not alone.

So here's the written portion of the contest. I basically said it all in the voiceover, buuut here it is again!

The emotions I chose to portray are hope and despair. I chose these because they're the two most prevalent emotions in my struggle against Cystic Fibrosis. Hope is constantly trying to deafen Despair, and Despair is constantly trying to mute Hope. Alternatively, Despair can never hear the voice of reason, and Hope can never speak her words. These two emotions are constantly battling inside me. Some days, I feel full of hope for my future, and other days, I only feel despair.

I'm not sure if I deserve to win the brushes over anyone else, to be honest. I just know that I'm very passionate about art, and I hope that some day I can touch others through it. But I also know I don't need fancy materials for that. Still, it would be so amazing to win. I think everyone also deserves them too, though.
