I spent the last few days complaining about these shading lines and swearing to myself that ‘next time’ I’ve just leave them out and I’ve just spent adding a million lines to this daisy drawing. Hilarious.

I actually really like daisies. My kind of flower. It seems so happy.

I think I like flowers with lots of petals like sunflowers, peonies and daisies. They tend to have very uneven petals that if you were to consider them individually don’t seem very appealing but put all together they create a beautiful flower. Kind of like us. Even with all our superficial flaws, we are still beautiful in essence.

The world: ignites in me, a sense of curiosity. My mind does not settle until it can comprehend, until it understands. For the physical world, creation has always been my enduring method of choice. For the spiritual world, all-encompassing practices like yoga and meditation, a belief in a higher energy, and writing have always been the soothing and balancing tools I have returned to, to re-ground myself. This is my journey of self-expression. Through written words and different forms of art. To my soul, my inner essence.
