I'm so nervous about the competition next week, what if my paintings aren't good enough?
Emma and Georgia, two closest friends who were inseparable, resided in the busy town of Barili. They were well-known for their contagious laughs, steadfast encouragement of one another, and common aspiration of becoming well-known artists.
I know what you mean, Georgia. I'm feeling the same way. What if the judges don't appreciate our artistic style?
I'm not sure if I'm capturing the essence of my message in this painting.
I feel like my artwork is missing something.
The closer the competition got, the more self-conscious Emma and Georgia were. They doubted their skills and questioned whether their aspirations to be artists were just foolish fantasies.
I don't want to give up, Georgia. But I'm so afraid of failure.
Maybe we're not good enough to be artists. Maybe we should just give up on our dreams."
We're in this together, Georgia. And no matter what happens, we'll always have each other.
You're right, Emma. We've come so far, and we're not giving up now. Let's show the world what we're capable of!
