Today Is My Birthday! (11/23) So I Would Like To Gift You All With This Announcement:

Today is my birthday! (11/23) So I would like to gift you all with this announcement:

I have (finally) created my own food blog! @comfydarkeats ✨🍽✨

Food and art are both things that I greatly enjoy. When I was asked what my dream career would be, I answered that I'd want to be a food illustrator.

I say "finally" because, to be honest, even though they are my passions, it took me a while to just get started. Maybe it's the fear of making mistakes, or that the results won't turn out the way I want it to. Does anyone else feel this? 😭

A very wise friend told me, "Why not start with a 'bad drawing'? Why not paint a 'bad thing.' And just keep going until you finally get something good." In other words, I won't know if the piece is bad if I don't get started at ALL.

I'm also trying to apply this mindset in other aspects of my life. I admit to not accomplishing a lot of goals (let alone daily tasks) because of this fear of failure, fear of not getting it right the first try, which causes me to stop on my tracks and just be stagnant overall.

I know this is something I need to work on, but as I'm getting older, I'm learning that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as there's the eagerness and acceptance of bettering myself. I'm also trying to take in this saying, "There's no better time than the present." It's been said so many times, but I never really had that sink in until now.

Creating this blog is a small step, but it's important to me that I initiate at all instead of going, "someday." So here's to starting new things that may turn into accomplishments!

Is there something that you've been wanting or needing to do?

My First Time Completing Hourly Comic Day!

My first time completing Hourly Comic Day!

I've been wanting to do this, but I needed to give myself a short deadline, otherwise I will not get it done 😆

If I was asked what my typical day looks like, this is as accurate as it can be, shapes and all. Thanks for reading!

"Don't worry, you're among friends." Is it me, or does anyone else get these mellow, nostalgic vibes during the Fall season? When the falling leaves turn golden and the weather (slowly) gets chillier, it's just👌 One of the reasons why Autumn is my favorite season is seeing the vivid changes outside. The gradual changes showing that time is still moving, even when it doesn't feel like it sometimes. I like to think that they're reminders that moments will pass. And especially during this time now, this gives me lots of peace these days. Anyways, I hope you all are doing well and having a good start to the week 🍂🧡

I've been working on patience,

Trying to trust in the timing of my tiny existence,

I come alive,

I stood still in the twilight,

I found peace in the quiet things,

How could I wish away all the in between?

-----

Lately I’ve been listening to Kina Grannis’ “In the Waiting,” along with her commentary regarding her song (which I highly recommend for the heavy feels). What I appreciate from this artist is that despite the life struggles and hardships, she handles them with such gentleness and grace, something I find rare and extremely difficult to accomplish. However, it’s something that I strive to do.

It’s definitely easier said than done. But I want to continue to remind myself that, even if I’m not where I want to be or haven’t found what I’m looking for, the most I can do now is enjoy what life presents to me: this uncertain but (sometimes) exciting journey, where I am, with my loved ones by my side.

Thank you @kinagrannis for your thoughtful and beautiful words ☺️
