i am
 to cease
 existing

as breath
 fogging
 the glass
 disappears.

gone,
 yet void
 of suffering.

i am
 just a speck -
 irrelevant,
 never belonging.

fading in time
 like memories,
 fleeting.

like dust
 slowly
 dissipating
 into not being.

fading away
 to black
 or white,

into nothingness.

Spread the love!

My cup of coffee this morning and my first macrame work last year. I'm now itching to get more cords so I can continue my current macrame WIP. Will slowly fill our apartment with macrame hangings. Haha! Maybe I should invest in a good vacuum soon. 😄

My toddler's first painting. Happy, happy accidents! 👶🏻💕🎨

Dark Botanicals Another page in my watercolor journal. There came I time when I rarely picked up the brush, or did any creative work. I kept spiraling to the bottom of a dark pit, unable to surface, as if waves kept on crashing down on me. This page was done during one of those moments when I tried holding on to a ray of sunlight and was able to resurface for a bit. This is a reminder to all who are suffering: everything has an end - whether good or bad. Enjoy the times when you feel fine or great, and when things get tough, keep trudging forward for there is always light in this world. You just need to have the courage to reach out. Rest when you are tired, but please keep fighting.

My most recent entry in my watercolor journal. Late night practice, and I just wanted to give myself some time to relax and just play with the colors. Learning to be forgiving of oneself is a tough lesson. I'm about to run out of space in this journal, and it's about time too! Time to buy a new Strathmore!

Never be afraid to ask for help. One of the things I had to do to manage my depression and anxiety disorder was to quit social media. The hiatus was invigorating, at the same time, I'm learning how to use social networking sites in a healthy manner. I'm now going back to blogging and sharing my works here. Hopefully, in sharing my journey, my posts can find those who are in the same situation and maybe even help and encourage others to keep going. Please click the link in my profile for the latest blog post. I've been gone for so long here in IG, I can barely remember how things work. 😅

It feels like I am trapped at times, unable to move, unable to breathe, unable to function as I should... but this is my reality, and choosing to embrace it means that I have to learn how to look at the good things that come with it. This is who I am, and loving myself means loving all of me. Embrace the "bad" things because it's part of me - that there is a beautiful side to it, too. It can be painful, it is definitely a struggle, but a rare and beautiful flower can bloom in adversity. --- I started my therapy last month, and it's the best thing that I've ever done for myself. 🌿🙏🏼
