I had never done scrapbook or collages before but I grew up watching my mom do scrapbooks. Almost three years ago I randomly decided to take some collage classes and I loved it. After that, I barely did anything until last year where my therapist had me do something creative through any medium that I wanted and I chose a collage.
I did this one last week inspired by Bad Bunny’s new album because hearing it made me feel like home while also aching to one day be able to go back. (context: i’m both puertorrican and mexican but currently live in mexico).

i’ve literally been unable to stop collaging idek !! but i’ve found it as such a lovely outlet, both for feelings in a way traditional journaling never could be, and for a general need to do art. i’ve been junk journaling a lot too, but this is just a random one i made the other day im pretty pleased w :)

I'm not really good at any visual art forms, but I made a pretty big collage for my friend's birthday, and it was just fun following my instincts on what to put together, seeing where I could place an inside joke, and just telling a story in a way I usually wouldn't.
Hours went by before I even realized how long I'd been working on it. I just listened to music, cut up magazines, rubbed glue into my hands, fucked around with a bunch of markers, and it was pretty chill. I'd recommend anyone who struggles with visual art to give it a try, you might surprise yourself, but you also might just have fun, which is worth it to me. It's making me consider learning how to do it digitally.

I cannot stress this enough. In the past six months I’ve made it my goal to be intentional in the places around me as I’m walking. And occasionally I find places or notice sunsets that are worth stoping for.
Then the most beautiful thing happens. People have seen me do that then they also stop to figure out what I’m staring at. They either keep going afterwards or stop and stare too.
Yesterday as I was walking I saw this freaking BEAUTIFUL sunset and I stopped to take a pic and then this guy saw me, saw the sunset and then he stopped to take a pic too <3
One small step can change so much around us!
