DRAW WHAT YOUR FEELINGS LOOK LIKE

self regulation and self soothing have been BIG priorities for me because im currently on a therapy break. Its been about 5 months off (minus one maintenance appointment) Anywho, something my therapist would always ask me when discussing my feelings is, “How does this feel? What does it look like? Can you describe it?” I’d usually respond quickly and move on. I decided to try using this question as a way to create the world in my head irl. Lately i’ve been dealing with a lot of paranoia. So I (not an artist at all) drew what FEAR looks like to me. Then I made a pros and cons list about FEAR. I was shocked at how helpful this method was for me. It helped me realize that so much intensity behind my feelings comes from misunderstanding my feelings intentions. Anywho, this is a shit drawing but it helped me so much. ((pls don’t steal my drawing lmfao))

Bad drawing

sadly never been artistically talented with a pen (much to my disappointment) but doing small quick drawings is helping me battle against this desire for my creative outlets to be perfect or visually appealing. Not getting discouraged or hyperfixating on the look of it, rather focusing on how good it feels to put pen to paper It’s very freeing and I will continue to draw inanimate objects poorly without shame

warm dark

i love waking up before everyone else, making a real nice & simple breakfast, and sitting at the table. i keep the lights off, except for one lamp in the living room. it gives off this lovely warm light. feels so peaceful. this paired with a good album. highly recommend.

taco tuesday

about to make guacamole with my dad. we visited his dad today. instead of learning how to make chip dips, his dad taught him how to throw a ball. it was weird; hearing my dad tell the lady at the counter, “i’m looking for my dad’s room.” sometimes i forget he was a kid once, too. my grandfather ended the visit by holding my dad’s hand and saying, “you wouldn’t believe how much i love you!” both of them were trying to be strong, but i saw their eyes gloss over. i made the guac, by the way. my dad was very patient with me & my questions about avocados. i think its because he misses when his dad could be patient with him. instead he’s a patient at the hospital who can very well believe how much he loves his son. i don’t know. just food for thought.
