I got inspired by these cool jars I have at home. Whenever I look at them, it makes me think about what it’s like to have something beautiful inside but not be able to see it. It’s like feeling stuck, always on the outside looking in, just like those jars. Sometimes, my thoughts feel trapped too. It’s like they’re inside a glass bottle, and when I try to say them out loud, my words disappear. Those jars are like me. When you look inside yourself, that’s where your beauty is. It’s something only you can see. It’s a bit like those jars – your own kind of special.
