This is not an easy thing to do. It is so much easier to hold onto those things that have caused us pain. But if we allow it to, those experiences that brought us heartache and sorrow can make us stronger and those feelings of despair can turn into feelings of hope and gratitude. I have experienced that change of emotion throughout my life... and was reminded of it again recently. I know I am not the only one who struggles with depression and I hope by sharing my experiences, it can help someone else find and feel light. Please know that you are not alone in your battle. And please know that these experiences that hurt so much are not there to break us, they are there to make us. Lately I’ve been building really high walls, and keeping my distance, and shoving my emotions down really deep because I don’t want to deal. I am really struggling to trust anyone with the super raw real feelings I am experiencing right now…..like I said, I want to share, but can’t find the courage to do so. I will say though, that even in the dark, light can be found. Even when we feel alone, scared, unheard, misunderstood, or forgotten, light can be found. I know that difficult moments lead to beautiful lessons and growth. I know that our low times can bring greater peace and hope into our lives. I know we are never truly forgotten, so I’m holding on, trying my best to walk forward, and eating loads of chocolate. Reproduced from the artist''s original artwork of Watercolor on Paper 7.5” x 5.5”. Painted 2022.

About the Artist

Kate Lee's art is a heartfelt showcase of her love for her family and her faith, brought to life
through her watercolors. From the time she was young, Kate had a knack for drawing, even
when it meant getting in trouble for not paying attention in class. Her art evolved over time,
moving from simple cartoons to the rich layers of watercolor painting, as she searched for a way
to more accurately express what she was feeling inside. Kate balances her life as an artist with
being a mom and wife, and she still finds time for her love of mountain biking.
