MOODIES

MY STORY

It all began years ago when I was just a kid. I lost my friend. My best friend. It had a very dark impact on my life. I suffered from severe depression. I had trouble making new friends. I had no self-confidence anymore. Funny I had a phobia of being seen by people! So I became an anti-social guy who would lock himself up in his room all day dreaming about those memories he had with his best friend. During this time one of my hobbies was to draw things. I wasn't good at it. Not even now! But I was obsessed with minimal arts. so I created this picture you see right here. It's actually a standing mystery man who is waving his hand. I don't know maybe it was just me trying to socialize!

As the years passed, my condition got worse. You might know what happens next when the depression gets out of control. For the past three years I was under therapy sessions again. But this time was different. I gained confidence over time and finally overcame my depression. I let go of the past and I started a new life. On Thursday, March 3, 2022 my therapist told me: "You are free now! how do you feel about it?". I had no answer. After 15 years of depression I was finally free. Free of my past. Free of medicines. Free of everything. I finally defeated that monster inside me. Some weeks later I decided to make this collection inspired by that mystery man who was trying to make new friends. It may not look much compared to all those awesome NFTs out there but I wanted to immortalize it. To give hope to many people like me who is going through the same thing every day. To tell them that nobody's perfect. You're doing fine! So keep up the good work and never give up on life.
Remember. Where there's life, there's hope.
