Here's the last Lord of the Rings I've had the pleasure to paint for one of my wonderful clients. As always I've made this using a mix of watercolors and gouaches for the little extra touches

Deepavali begins with memory for Thanuska: sitting on her mom’s bed, watching her get ready at the dressing table, as saree drapes, flowers, kajal, lipstick and kungumam became the finishing touches that stayed with her.

“My mom was always the one getting my sister and me ready growing up, and I learned so much just by watching her. Black kajal and lipstick were staples in her routine and became some of the first makeup products I loved wearing myself. Those little rituals stayed with me and still shape the way I get ready today. My mom worked at a MAC facility when I was young, so celebrating these traditions with MAC today feels like such a full-circle moment.”

What crimes would you commit for love? The School for Bad Boys Season 2 is out now on @reelshortapp, featuring the song “More Than Friends” 😈🫶

For years, I was afraid of what people might think of me. ❤️

I worried about being judged, about people not understanding me, and about what would happen if I showed this side of myself to the world.

And looking back, I realize how much time I spent worrying about things that hadn’t even happened yet.

Accepting myself didn’t happen overnight. It took time to become comfortable with who I am, to stop questioning whether it was okay to enjoy the things I love, and to realize that I don’t need everyone’s approval to be happy.

I’m a guy who loves dressing up, doing makeup, wearing heels and expressing a feminine side of myself. And for a long time, I struggled with accepting that those things could simply be part of who I am.

But here’s something I’ve learned along the way: you don’t have to fit into someone else’s expectations to be happy with yourself. 💕

And I think that’s something so many of us struggle with, whether it’s about how we look, what we wear, who we love, or simply being a little different from what others expect.

These days, I’m much more comfortable being Julia. I go shopping, go out, meet new people and enjoy moments I once thought I’d never have the confidence to experience.

Of course, I still have insecurities. We all do. But I’m no longer letting the fear of being judged decide what I can or cannot enjoy.

If I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be this:
Don’t spend so much of your life worrying about what other people might think. You deserve to enjoy being yourself, too. ❤️

And if you’re reading this while struggling with accepting a part of yourself, whatever that may be, I hope you’ll give yourself the time and kindness you deserve.

Life is too short to hide the things that make you happy. 🥹💕

What’s something you’ve learned about accepting yourself as you’ve gotten older? ✨
