april love 2016: dear home

April 2, 2016

dearhome


Dear Home,

They say that home is where your heart is and I’m starting to think that they’re right. Home to me is wherever I feel most content, most comfortable and the most myself. It is where my mind and my heart can run free and be whomever they want to be.

Home is my shelter. It is where I’m with my family, the only people in the entire world who accept me, because they’ve known me for so long. Home is relaxing and the only place that I can really call my own. My room is my absolute home. It is my sanctuary. My place designed and furnished for me. It is where my ideas and creativity flow. It is where I make things–lots of things–and helps to define who I am. My room has my mark on it everywhere. It is my sacred place.

Home can change. Those lucky enough to spend a lifetime in their childhood home will never know the feeling of saying goodbye to a neighborhood or a room. They will never know the struggle of trying to adapt to a place and make it your own. They will never have those dreams of home, where your home in the dream, was your past or previous home, because you probably lived there so long that it’s what your subconscious believes to be your true home.

But I am grateful for my home. I am grateful for my mother who works so hard to have this home and who lets me stay with her while I try to figure out where I feel most at home in my own heart. I’m grateful for all I have waiting for me at home and that every time I leave to go explore somewhere new, I always have this home with my mother, my brother and my dog to come back to.

So thank you Home for being there for me. Thank you for being a place where I can rest my head. For being a place where I can explore myself and truly be me without judgment. Thank you for your shelter and warmth. And forgive me for not acknowledging you enough. I just expect you to always be there, when that may not always be the case. But thank you for being here now.

sincerely yours, T

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
