Too many people in society think that loving and pursuing art means that you need to be a starving artist. But that’s not true. Art is a hobby well worth your time in pursuing and drawing is a skill that people have admired all throughout history. Drawing is a way that you can save your memories for years to come. Drawing is a way to show the world what you see in your head.

Practicing self-love and self-care can seem extravagant—especially when we feel like our jobs are beating us down, the pandemic is weighing heavily on us, or we’re not doing enough for the kids or our houses are a mess having to homeschool in some cases while juggling work. But as Meghan Markle once wrote: “You need to know that you’re enough. You are complete with or without a partner. You are enough just as you are.” 

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed, and it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand?
This world is forcing me to hold your hand

'Cause I'm just a girl, a little ol' me
Well, don't let me out of your sight
Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh, I've had it up to here

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow"
