Träumende Frau im Boot (Dreaming Woman in the Boat) ~ c.1900 ~ Robert Knöbel (German painter, 1874-1924)
I am, like, a long running proponent of the "eat something and you'll feel better" crowd and am often one of the first people to suggest "maybe it's time for a snack before I get whipped into a frenzy" but I really do resent how instantaneous it is. like it'll feel like I'm having my worst day in months and then I'll start eating and literally before I even finish I'm like oh yeah the world is beautiful
if it’s not hitting the soul, what’s the point?

You can do things for the simple reason that you enjoy them. They don't have to always be productive or educational or monetized. You can do things just for fun. For a silly goofy time. It's allowed.
Even when you can't open your curtains to welcome the sunlight. Even when your heart feels twice as small as it usually is. Even in the deepest dark you know. Especially then.

something true and beautiful. please

You need to draw and make art or else all the images will stay in your head and you'll get sick
