Nuriman A. Faris | Artist + Writer

1️⃣ I believe sharing big plans or goals jinxes them, and life will throw something bigger my way.

2️⃣ I have hundreds of books on my TBR and keep buying more. I’m a sucker for a good deal.

3️⃣ I won’t draw in front of people and will wait for them to leave the room before I continue.

4️⃣ I pretend I read Twilight as a teen so people won’t think I was weird reading it as an adult.

5️⃣ I went into thousands of dollars of debt buying Pokemon cards, and I’m still paying it off.

6️⃣ I write everything down because I have a terrible memory, post-its everywhere.

7️⃣ I had a high school crush on my now husband, but I thought he was just a jock.

8️⃣ I cried in front of my college painting professor because my figure paintings were so bad.

9️⃣ I wrote fan fiction called Daredevil’s Dimension at 13, crossing X-Men, Final Fantasy, and X-Files together.

1️⃣0️⃣ I wanted Alaska for my honeymoon, but my husband insisted on somewhere warm.

Each one of these seemingly random facts are tied together by my fear of judgement. The things that once made me feel embarassed are now part of who I am and what makes me interesting.
