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

I’ve been drawing everyday in a sketchbook everyday since 2018. Drawing is something that I’ve always wanted to be good at since I was very little.
It’s a skill that anyone can learn, just like any other skill. It’s not a walled-off talent that only comes to a certain number of people, anyone can pick it up and learn.
I love how meditative the process can be, it slows you down and forces you to see objects and perspectives for what they really are, not how you imagine them to be.

Whatever I want to draw, no pressure. With a pencil. Reminds me of middle school when I could fill sketchbook upon sketchbook and draw for hours on end.

I overheard this conversation between two girls, where one didn’t want to lend the other a book because she liked to keep her books in mint condition (“you FOLD the corners ? Oh god no”). Like girl what ? (to each their own I guess??) surely that is the joy of books- for these pages to be passed around, shared, worn and tattered. For stories to be read and re-read, each time with new rips in the page or the ever satisfying feeling of folding a corner. Scars of your journey with the story.
I want the book to FEEL how much I loved reading it. To be loved is to be changed !! i will happily crack the spine of this fine novel and enjoy it !! Read it and weep sad book girl 🤚🏻
