@paintbymish: At 21 I had my 1st born. At 23 I started trade school right after finding out I was pregnant with my 2nd child. At 25, I finally graduated with an associate degree in court reporting. At 26 I started Paint by Mish. At 29 I painted my first window. At 32 I decided to take Paint by Mish seriously. At 35 I started a pole fitness journey that helped bring me back to the “Mish” I lost through all the years of single parenting. At 36 I tried learning aggressive inlines. It was an extension of the rollerblading journey that was ingrained in my soul from childhood. At 37 I started riding a motorcycle. I waited until my oldest was 16 years of age before finally deciding to pursue this and it was the outlet that saved me from myself last year. At 38 I’m finally leaning how to snowboard after wanting to do this since I was a little girl watching the “big boys” on the slopes. At any age, under any circumstance, you can just start new shit and you don’t need anybody’s permission to do so. Your life is going to end one day. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to watch the rerun in your mind. Make sure it’s fucking epic. DISCLAIMER: This is a HIGHLIGHT reel. Which means, I left out all the depressing parts of my life. Don’t compare your journey to ppl on the internet. Your journey is yours and yours alone and no two people live the same life. But it’s up to you to work hard at cultivating the life you want.. even on the most difficult days. PS. I’m still working on mine🤍 I love you
