I was born in the 80s and fitting in was never easy for me. My mom is Dutch and my dad is Spanish. No matter where I went I always felt like an outsider. In Spain people would call me "the Dutch girl" and in The Netherlands I was the "the Spanish chick". From a very young age I knew I was different from the rest but I didn't mind. It taught me to look within and find things that brought me joy. I had huge passion for painting and being outdoors. I embraced my special skills has a painter and thrived in all my art classes. Soon I found myself among the best painters in my town and spent every free second I had oil painting and letting my hands express my feelings and emotions. I thought my life was perfect, I thought my life had been planned for. Little did I know that my adventure hadn't even began yet. That day came when I was 12 years old and my father told me we were moving to the USA...

Welcome to Steemit! I hope you find a place to fit in on this platform. As a fellow artist, I hope you'll share some of your paintings here! I'll be following your blog.
Just a recommendation for an introductory post, you should include a photo of yourself holding a sign with your Steemit username and the date. This helps to verify your profile so that we know you aren't a bot ;)
Introductory posts with this kind of photo usually end up getting a lot more traffic and votes. Here's mine, just by way of example:

Just saw this comment and since I love to support artists I went back to check your intro post. I'm also originally from Toronto and lived there for 35 years. I went to High School with a Tomlinson. Who knows, maybe it's your dad?
Anyway I love your stuff and I'll follow you!

Yup, I don't pretend life is made like a boquete of flowers. Life might not be easy or peachy but I don't regret anything in my history. I'm a stronger woman/mother because of all the hardships endured and I truly embrace all the ups and downs I've encountered and will probably encounter in the future.
