“I DON’T WANT TO LET THE FEAR WIN.”
– Sophie Lawson
I will be eternally grateful to Persona 4 and the universe for bringing art into my life. It changed everything. How did I know pursuing art would allow me to accept my true self? I didn’t. I couldn’t possibly have known this, but the universe knew. After only a couple years of drawing, I changed so much. I was no longer letting the fear win. I was starting to overcome social anxiety by joining art classes, starting to push outside my comfort zone by joining art exhibitions and galleries. All of this made me wonder. What if I put this same mindset, dedication and commitment I had found for art, towards my desire to transition into Sophie. Maybe, just maybe … I could pull it off. But the fear.

I realised though, I still had so much baggage from the past 36 years to deal with. The old me, the shy, anxious, living in fear me was still very much hanging around. If I wasn’t careful, wasn’t fully focused moving forward, he would find a way to sabotage my efforts. I knew this. So I made a promise to focus on improving my mind; starting with increasing my daily meditation practice.
