My mum. She is probably the only person who has stuck by me through thick and thin, well, other than my dad, but my mum is like, next level. She is the loveliest, kindest, most supportive ****ing person in the whole world and she has never given up on me even at my absolutely lowest. She goes out of her way to try and make me feel better, like, just today she sent me an absolute heartfelt message and I almost cried in front of everyone in my class. I honestly don't think I'd be here today if I didn't have someone like her in my life, and I think she may be my only tether to the world. Without her I'd be lost. I can never ever thank her enough for everything she has done for me, and if I turn out to even be half the person she is I think I'd be okay with myself.

Aside from my mum, my aunt (her sister) is pretty great too. She's like, art goals. Seriously, she's been really successful and seems content with what she's don't over the years. Early on she was an animator for Disney! She worked on the original Ducktales! And then she had a long time being a successful tattoo artist in the shop I aim to work at in the next few years. And her art is like, amazing. She's kind of stepped out of tattooing now, and I love how she can just be flexible and reinvent herself like that! I think my aunt has started to dip into macrame now and god, she's just soooo good at everything she does. Seriously, I'd link you to her work but that may compromise my secret identity. >:3c

And, I think a big inspiration to me is my newest friend. Over the past six months I've developed a pretty deep connection to her, even though she's a lot older than me. She reminds me a lot of myself, and she's a huge bloody stress head (she had psoriasis like me lol) ... yet she's managed to lead a good art career, doing something she loves. It kind of gives me hope that perhaps I can be the same, even with all my freaking issues. Our art practices are completely different, but she's kind of given me a nice taste of what she does and I think it might be fun to try out sometime!!
God, she is a huge inspiration to me, she's like a mix of my mum and my aunt. She's caring like my mum, and artistic like my aunt! ****, I love her. c':

Lastly, I think all of my art friends are a great source of inspiration for me. Every single one of them, from my very best friend from high school to my best friends online. I wouldn't be here without their support, and each one of them are like my little heroes. If you're a friend of mine, or even just someone I talk to online who does art, then yes, I'm talking about you!! And all the people in the #art channel on the discord! We all support each other, and that's amazing!

Well, you already just kinda bought it up, soooo .....
