Simple Walk By: Joey Cochran
December 29, 2021 Nā Leo Literary Review

At the start of this year my life got pretty hectic. I had to go to the ER a couple times because of a kidney infection, my blood pressure was reaching dangerous levels, and I started going into a major I am still not happy with. And, through all this stress, I decided to just give up on art. Yes, it made me happy, but I don’t really think I could make a career out of it. I lack motivation too much to be able to steadily support myself with it. I needed to focus on my schooling and health to make sure I had a better future. So, I did. I stopped doing art, focused on my studies and began to go on walks to better my health. Nearly 10 whole months of no art. My health got better at least, but I still missed art. I missed it alot. So, on one of the walks I decided to take a picture of a cloud. I love clouds, I think they are so beautiful. I took that picture and decided I was gonna draw that cloud. No matter what, I would sit down at some point and make that cloud for myself. Here is that cloud.
