I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

Frida Kahlo
About This Quote

I don’t have nightmares. I have realistic dreams. I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

People who are fearful of what others may think of them can paint a nightmare for themselves by creating terrible scenarios in their mind. They may imagine the worst possible outcome, fearing that someone will find out about something they have done wrong or that they cannot live up to some unrealistic expectation. On the other hand, people who are open and honest about who they are and what they want can paint their own reality with bold strokes that adorn their life with beauty and meaning.
