Art is everywhere, even in the mundane and the ordinary; even in the dark, which I find comforting and healing.

I feel ,but I am

Today, I looked in the mirror and thought,

I feel worthless.

But I said," I am worthwhile in the things I do, say and create."

I thought, I feel like I failed.

But said, "I am tired, but I got up, and a try isn't a fail."

I thought ,I feel afraid that my situation will never change.

But said, "I am changing; it's tough, but so am I."

I thought, I feel everyone looks at me like I'm damaged.

But I said," I am taking responsibility for myself and my health so they can think whatever they want."

I thought ,I feel like I don't fit in.

But I said, "I will fit in with the right people at the right time, but first, I must fit in with me."

Remember, every thought you say to yourself matters, and the positive thoughts help you grow.

Things that grow wild in my yard

Cranberry hibiscus. Photographed and digitally edited to give it an interesting, artful effect. Hope you all have a good one. Stay well and be safe out there.

Something pretty to look at

Playing around with a photo I took during summer. Thought it was cool and wanted to share. Stay well and be safe out there 🖤

This is my first post to this group... hello! I take photos of the sky and nature because it brings me a sense of peace. Might not be the most beautiful photo, but the sky never ceases to amaze me, so I wanted to share. Be well and stay safe out there 💜

Thank you for including me:)

In life I've never been part of groups...
Always the outsider it felt like.
But on The Mighty, I am included.
And it feels so good to bond over shared interests and what helps us cope with life.
I color most afternoons.

Art as a coping skill

Making art for accountability and #MentalHealth purposes, and wanted to share something happy here today. It always makes me nervous to share my art, so please be kind 🖤

I use many different art mediums, but I'm not usually big on painting. This is part of my therapy, though. I paint my emotions to get them out. My goal is to have this book filled by the end of the year, and share some of my stuff along the way. Hope someone here likes this.
