Sarah’s Creative Journey

One difficulty I keep facing over and over nowadays is being separated from friends or people. This occurs in such a way that we all feel a bit farther removed from each other. We don't constantly see each other (either at school or work), and it is hard to keep in touch. Everyone is so busy with life that it's hard to make time for ourselves, the people around us, our family, and friends or acquaintances far away. We are always so busy that our mental health and wellness can fall by the wayside. To combat this mental wellness, I have undertaken various tasks and steps to help. Just in the past year, I have started meditating and looking more inward.  Already, I have learned so much about meditation and have come to a more comfortable stage with actually sitting down with myself and looking inward. In doing so, I have been able to locate some weak points, but also have found to be able to calm myself and mature as a whole person. Another thing I have learned and want to sha...

So I've been doing a lot of busy work. Busy work in the way of trying to figure out how to narrow my artistic focus. How to keep working on art daily and why I have trouble creating without outside pressure. How I get myself to sit down and see more results -or finished pieces and not scattered unfinished ideas. It hasn't been an easy road and though I still feel as if I haven't physically produced much, I think the work is there and slowly adding up without me knowing. Just yesterday I realized I had no more pages in one of my sketchbooks. So I must be doing something.  The good news is I'm feeling better about moving forward. I have found a few things that have been working and things I could do to help myself grow. So here's to each new day. To discovering more about myself and to learning all I can. Feel free to follow my journey as I post my mistakes and new projects.
