Nihal has painted as a hobby since she was a teenager, but she never believed her work was good enough to show publicly. She used to hide her paintings in a closet, afraid that people would them.

Everything changed last year when her close friend, Deren, secretly submitted some of Nihal's paintings to a small gallery competition without telling her. If Deren hadn't done this, Nihal admits, she would probably never have had the to try on her own.

When Nihal found out that one of her paintings had won a spot in a group exhibition, she felt a mixture of excitement and terror. She has never shown her art to strangers before, and the idea of public judgment frightened her deeply.

For weeks before the exhibition, Nihal worked , improving small details on her painting that nobody else would probably even notice. She kept telling herself that if the painting failed to impress anyone, at least she would have tried.

On the opening night, Nihal arrived at the gallery feeling with nerves. She has attended other people's exhibitions before, but standing next to her own work, watching strangers look at it, felt completely different.

A middle-aged man stopped in front of her painting for a long time, studying it carefully. Nihal, standing nearby, nervously asked what he thought. He replied that the painting reminded him of his childhood summers by the sea, something he hadn't thought about in years.

That single comment meant more to Nihal than any professional review could have. She realized that her art had connected with someone, exactly the kind of moment she used to only imagine happening to famous artists.

By the end of the evening, Nihal had sold her painting to the same man who had spoken to her. She has decided that she will start painting more seriously, dedicating a few hours every weekend specifically to developing her skills further.

"I used to think my paintings didn't matter to anyone but me," Nihal told Deren afterward, hugging her tightly. "If you hadn't believed in me more than I believed in myself, I would still be hiding my art in that closet."
