after 4 years of consistent depression, i feel whole again. i’m not that good at drawing. but the meticulous action of filling in a little detail on a character, the small creases added at the corners of a smile, or the extra lines of thread you add to a sketch of pants makes me feel an intense pleasure for the small things around me

i've been struggling a lot lately and one thing my therapist really stressed is that i need to push myself to do things i love even though i don't get the same satisfaction i once got
so today i got my coloured pencils out after a loong time and started drawing and i already feel a bit better
so i wanted to share this small step
it's not the best art but its art <3

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 woke up at 6 naturally and it feels so good to be active again. doing something for yourself regardless of those around you gives you such confidence in yourself; it’s good to be alive
