One day a coworker said to me, "You have a job and you are married so you are probably doing better than you think.." As invalidating as this statement sounds, I realized that I've put so much energy into masking my internal conflict & hiding behind the we pain that even the people i talk to on a regular basis do not know that I am constantly dealing with an internal issue around my repressed emotions 🦋

Mushrooms 🍄✨ I accidentally took a week-long break from posting so here’s some mushroom paintings for you 💌 I have been in a very low-inspiration phase in my life now for a few months I think and I just haven’t been as inspired to work on many new things, which has left me not having as much to post as normally. It’s easy to forget a lot of your achievements when you gain a bit of distance from them but when I started writing this caption I thought this must be my ”worst” painting year so far, but then I remembered I have made several framed painting collections, painted 25 mini wildflower fields, created my own painting challenge and painted every day for a month, made tens of new stickers and tutorial videos and created so so many paintings I’m deeply proud of. I don’t know what the point of this caption was but I feel like many of us have felt very uninspired and possibly more hopeless than ever lately, but I think it’s so incredibly important to celebrate all the great things, no matter how small they are, so even if you haven’t been able to do many creative things lately or you’ve felt lazy or underaccomplished, your have created/will create so many beautiful things in your life and it’s okay to not feel 100% all the time. Okay maybe I’ll try to be more active here in the next days because I missed posting here. But now I’ll spend the rest of the evening playing Tiny Bookshop because I’m obsessed!!! Have a lovely day friends

A parent may become angry or jealous of their children when they feel free to be fully expressed because the parent never felt that freedom during their own childhood 🦋
