Portrait: Madeline Garrett

“I’d probably start painting again and devote more time to music. But those don’t fit into my schedule anymore. I’d also like to spend more time with people who will make me a better person. It’s easy to get into a cycle and just stay, but I want to grow.

I spend a lot of time doing things that other people want me to do, instead of what I want to do.

If I start something and I don’t like it, I’ll just drop it. What’s the point of doing something if you don’t like it and are passionate about it?”
