So, sometimes just sharing pictures is enough.

Some song lyrics from ‘Comes and goes in waves’ piano version by Greg Laswell. Listening to it now in order to fit the theme of this post.
Some of these drawings, like the one above, are from my first sketchbook, lasting from about February 2015 to November 2015.

Lyrics credited to at the bottom of the page. From one of my coloring books. 🙂

I really like this coloring page. 🙂 It’s hung up on my wall.

An individual who climbed to the top of their mountain and SURVIVED. We’re all survivors, here. ❤

A mindfulness exercise. One of my most memorable pieces when I think about mindfulness.

The choices that exist in Recovery: Do we proceed forwards or spend time moving backwards. We already know that moving backwards or standing still pretty much sucks, so the only thing we have yet to experience is the moving forwards to find the light. Inside the chest there is the potential to get better. You have it within you, too. ❤

Another one of my coloring pages. Fucking love gazebos ❤

Birds and a colorful tree. ❤ Freedom, at its finest.

Speaking of freedom…. More about inner potential and light, especially in the darkness and the chaotic waves.
❤ ❤ ❤ Stay safe.
These are really interesting a creative drawings. You are very talented. 😃

It was a swell one! 🙂
I think most people do *nods* It shouldn’t be too bad though, I really got to make sure I do since I was having trouble with the material yesterday and our last quiz is tomorrow. Then it’s trying to implement some hardcore studying for the weekend! And Th/F this week, ’cause that’d be smart of me.

Legasp, well, welcome to the blogosphere! 🙂 ❤
And thanks! 😀
I don't doubt that you do, by the way. Talent is like a flower, with the right combination of water and sunlight and nutrients, it will flourish. Or talent is just bollocks! ^^;
(My way of trying to reassure you may not be very successful. ^^')

Oh, a DEARMAN – it’s a skill for objective effectiveness (aka getting what you want)
D – describe the situation
E – express your feelings
A – assert your wishes / ask
R – reinforce the person you’re asking
M – do it mindfully
A – appear confident
N – negotiate

Would you be interested in doing some type of creative writing collab, my friend?

LOL I know it’s like, when I’m in a situation, I don’t have time to remember all these steps! And sure why not? It’d be hard to fit in once I’m back in school (september) but for the rest of the summer I have time! 🙂 🙂

Right? Ahaha, I wouldn’t remember it for sure, not unless I wrote it down on my hand or a piece of paper. XD It’d be such a delayed reaction–like, “So and so, do you want to engage in this action with me?” “Well, Mr. So and so, you’ve got to ask for the DEARMAN” “Oh, of course! Let me just…find the…pocket…I put that in…” XD
Sweeeet! Have you ever heard of that game where when you have a group of people each person says a word or three and every one else has to finish the sentence and keep going with it? We could do something like that but in the form of paragraphs, like I do one and then you do one. What type of theme would you like to play around with? We could do something that relates to our blogs or not or eventually get there, and then we can both link and post it on our blogs back to each other. Oooo, this sounds so exciting!!
