I’ve been a brief hiatus from my tumblr due to the fact that I just haven’t been feeling very creative over the past 6 weeks due to circumstances called LIFE!
Things seem to be slightly a mess right now, in which I say, “C'est la vie!” This has kind of been my saying when things just don’t go the way I planned. Unfortunately, as of lately when I use this phrase, there’s usually tears followed by it because it’s my way of admitting that I feel defeated. But nonetheless, I still love this saying.
I’ve had a lot of conversations about life lately. So many people have different views. There are the optimists, the pessimists, the realists, the dreamers, the encouragers, the older and wiser adults, the people who give Sunday school answers, and the friends who don’t even say anything, but know exactly what you feel and will cry with you in a back stairwell at church when life gets the best of you. And to all of these people, thank you. Even when I don’t believe what you say or don’t say. Even when your words scare the hell out of me. THANK YOU! I don’t know how some of you put up with me when I have my bad days. You are the people who get me through each moment.
So I dedicate my little piece of artwork above to all of you. Made with all the creativity that I could somehow find in the midst of feeling talentless, unartistic, and just a hot mess. And such is life… but there’s more to life than a job, a paycheck, a title. There’s still some creativity within me… and I’m going to keep fighting to find it. I may officially be a starving artist now… which is ultimately the idealized dream I had, but it didn’t involve living at home with the parentals, eating Spaghetti O’s daily, and applying to 20+ jobs a day that I find online. Haha! I kinda thought it would involve backpacking across Europe and sketching sunrises and sunsets. Yeah… C'est la vie!
So on that note… If you need any design work or know of good job leads, think of me! #shamelessselfpromotion
