april love 2016: dear younger me

April 8, 2016

dearyoungerme


Dear Younger Me,

You were a happy child, I’m sure. You liked to play with your dolls and stuffed animals and build cities out of Legos. You loved to paint and draw and sing. You were absolutely content with just being you and I’m glad you were. Yet, you were a solitary child. You drew and painted by yourself; you sang, built cities and played with your dolls all by yourself and while I think that it was a good thing–because it broadened your imagination and made you fiercely independent–it kept you quite and reserved. And because you were too quiet and too reserved, you were extremely observant. No one really needed to explain things to you because you already knew. You knew far too much too fast–I think more than you even realized you knew. There’s a pattern to human behavior that you picked up on very young and once you saw it in action a few times you were done. You didn’t want to grow up and be one of those people. You didn’t understand why they treated each other so badly. You didn’t understand why people had to lie instead of just telling it like it is. No, you refused to be one of those people, which is why I think you’re a little messed up and lost now as an adult.  You refused yo become part of society–to be one of them–so you’re always just skimming on the outside and peeking in every-so-often. And that’s fine. Sure you’re a but cynical about society, but you are consciously aware that the would is a beautiful place and that there are people who aren’t as terrible–people like you, living on the outside and peeking in once in awhile. And when you find your people it’s magical. Sure, there aren’t many, but even so, you’re pretty much content on your own anyway.

sincerely yours, T
PrintApril Love 2016: a month of love letters. This is an exploration of self-love and unravelling for the entire month of April presented by Susannah Conway.

A happiness note: The nicest things can happen wh A happiness note:

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. xx
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
