“Doing what you love most is very powerful” I still remember when school told my parents that i couldn’t accomplish anything in life and wouldn’t be successful with finding a good paid job. This all because i was hyper energetic, didn’t have any social skill because of my authism and was easily upset from all the questions. I was always pressured by doing things i didn’t want to do. I needed to focus on things I didn’t like.My whole youth i had a hard time studying and focussing and by finally finishing my school, my stress level build up so bad that as a result i had to stay home for almost 2 years after i was 15. I locked myself up in my room and only spend time on things i liked to do. After some time my head got clear, there was no more pressure.Everyday i woke up talking to some friends from school who got a job or went to school and hated every part of it, and i was just sitting home, drawing, thinking, reading and being happy. I really felt happiness.I felt like i could accomplish anything again. By the age of 17 i came across an advertising for a tattoo-kit online, 3 machines, power supply and some ink and needles for only $80.But my parents didn’t think that would be a good and safe idea for a bright future so i needed to go to school again to get a diplomacy to be insured of a good paying job.(Like lot’s of people/parents would think).they suggested me to go to a nurcery school to develop my social skills and in my 3th year i already felt that pressure again that i had a few years back.I also started to notice that how a lot of people who worked there had that mentality of being happy when it’s friday (almost weekend) and being angry and frustrated on monday because the working/school week started again.People being sad…depressing.Everyday i went to school or work and people could only talk about how hard life is, how they looking forward to the weekends and holidays.I started to think.Why should i spend my whole life being pressured by things i don’t like to do.I began to think outside of that “box” and started to do something that i love. I was always drawing in my free time and i loved tattoo’s so i started to search online again for that tattoo-kit and bought it from my internship compensation money.I couldn’t think of nothing else then tattooing. I was obsessed by it. Checking online for endless hours on youtube how artists were tattooing.I loved it and i was truly happy.I got to tattoo some people and from there i opened my shop within 3 months. I enjoyed my life so much because i made a discission that would make ME happy.10 years later, tattooing is still what i love. It’s still my obsession.I’m worldwide known for my realism art and i even made some tattoo’s on famous people.I truly think because of my positive attitude and doing what love most, i succeeded in being succesful without being bothered by my authism. I surrounded myself with positive thinking people and got rid of all negative things in my life. That pressure is gone.I think everybody has this little “thing” inside that tells them what they want to do most. Go and do this!Do what makes you happy and leave everything behind that makes you unhappy. Sometimes a diagnose doesn’t mean anything.Stop being pressured by society, don’t ask opinions from people who are afraid. Just believe in yourself.Doing what you love will bring out the best in you.
