Last year, I experienced something unforgettable as an art student. For two weeks straight, the school building was locked, and we had no choice but to sleep outside the premises. It wasn’t easy—cold nights, rainy days, and the constant risk of losing our belongings if we dared to fall asleep.
But in the middle of all that hardship, one thing kept us awake and focused—our passion for art. We had a basic design assignment to complete, and no matter the situation, we couldn’t let it stop us. So we worked overnight, pushing through the tiredness, the discomfort, and the weather.
That experience taught me something powerful:
👉 Art is not just about creativity; it’s about discipline, resilience, and sacrifice.
👉 Sometimes, the conditions will not be comfortable, but the fire within us as artists keeps us moving.
👉 Those nights trained me to work even when the world is asleep.
Looking back, I don’t just see hardship—I see strength. Those long nights under the open sky made me realize that every struggle is shaping us into stronger artists and stronger people.
So today, I share this not as a complaint, but as a reminder: sometimes the journey will be cold, sleepless, and uncomfortable—but the result of our persistence will always be worth it.
