When I started testing the mmhmmapp beta version, I was skeptical. I don’t really like the moving head in fake background images. Neither did I like Zooms inbuilt backgrounds. But mmhmm gives you lots of flexibility and their range of rooms are way better than zooms integrated ones.

Now onto what’s the Pandemic Project and what did I do. Officially and unofficially Covid Pandemic continues.The vaccines and testing have given us more ammunition to fight it. But it’s no fun being stuck in a problem.

The weird thing about problems is no one likes them, but they always help us grow in strange ways.I read somewhere that we should all be like water.Unstoppable.Your direction may change but always flowing. This thought of mine doesn’t come easily. The book by Natalie Goldberg Living Color helped me understand that some work we do in our own soul to get into Flow.The rest happens because its meant to be.Life for everyone is difficult .Some mopre so that others .All our blessings are because of who you are and what you do.Its a sum total of choices of this life and (dare I say it?) the ones before.So keep being amazing and know that your voice and work matters.

So TLDR I started drawing and painting. Some I did following online art tutorials, the try its and inspired arts and some I tried to innovate. The biggest help for this was creators like Thea. ong on Tangi who so generously shares her creative work that gratitude is something I feel every moment.

When mmhmm told us to share our #PandemicProject I decided to be brave and talk about my artwork. It’s easy to get bogged down by imposter syndrome. But when I got paid for my artwork on Tangi, a bulb flashed somewhere in my brain. It was a wow moment when I realized everything that a creator creates has value. The important part is the platform, the support, and the environment. Social media with all its ups and downs has plenty of benefits too. The ability to learn in real-time from artists all over the world is fun and extraordinarily exciting. On one hand, the Pandemic has changed the direction of our life, it has also helped germinate ideas which I never knew lived in my mind.

To all those who dare to create sharing my Pandemic projects just for you. Push your boundaries because you are worth it. Most times in life, you have to be your own best friend. This is definitely one of them.
