Whenever I Need, Art Helps Me

 I was at college and struggling with some problems. My friends told me that there is one thing I enjoy doing: painting. Why am I not starting to paint? Yes, I had distanced myself mentally from painting. I thought I have no talent or time for hobbies. 

I made a decision one day to start. I purchased a book and a set of watercolors. I looked for simple painting concepts, fashion and animal paintings, and later I colored tiny images.  Some days, I desired to paint something I saw, so I got my brush for it and returned to my chair. I only had one brush then.



I'll never forget a memory. It was that my housemates, who are always my supporters, were outside. They came and gave me two brushes. They are my favourite gifts ever received! I only remember the smiles on my friends' faces. They were happy to see that I am going to be better. I believe I cried at that time.

With the pandemic and the new global crisis, jobless days began soon after graduation. My parents were at home dealing with some issues, and I was unemployed. I realized something goes wrong, I was tired of sitting at home and cooking, eating, arguing and waiting. One day I went outside with my cousin to her favorite art shop. I purchased some watercolor papers. I got comfortable in my chair and started ripping the sheets into small pieces. I colored with a koala image, masjid image, and flower image in it day by day.

How they appear was important to me. Occasionally, I didn't. I focused on painting and felt better.
It was the same time I watched the documentary with my cousin. I had 2 goals: paint as much as I could, and also start working in the summer.

I had an Instagram account and made some reels with them. I knew I am not an artist but believed in the healing power of art. It was achieved, clear as a day! 


I started to work in the summer. I earn, I got a quality paint book and acrylics with new brushes. I searched acrylic usage, and what can I paint as a starter. I paint night with stars, and sunsets with red and purple. 

I started working during the summer. I earned money, and I purchased acrylic paints and new brushes. I looked up how to use acrylic paint and what I could start painting with. I illustrate nighttime with stars and red and purple sunsets.

Beginning in 2022, I lost it. I tried, but I wasn't very eager. To heighten my interest once more, I purchased two canvases. One is still searching for a life.

Last summer, I went to an art gallery. One of the paintings affects me a lot! After that weekend, I took my brushes and instanced them on my canvas. 



Later we all arrived at the new year, 2023. One of my goals is to keep painting even though I have no inspiration inside me.

I will let you know about this year's paintings from me. I shared my last painting of the previous year in this post. 



Stay alive with the inspiration on you!

Mercury.

Searching for the Answer to 'How Can I Be Better?'

Resim
  We found ourselves trying to keep up with the speed of this age, while the age we live in has to keep up with us. We can access information and education more reasonably and easily. In the time we want to improve ourselves, skip a class, and rise, we are getting away from our souls' step by step.  During the day, we begin to deal with minor tantrums, disappointments, and feelings of not being able to achieve. Things are starting to evolve in a direction we cannot control. Nobody stops time. Might be we choose to stop ourselves, or maybe we don't. We're starting to stagger. When we want to take a step, we gonna trip and fall. Finally, we begin to ask things from other angles. Bingo! We see that the things we think we can reach are missing us. There are things we slip through our fingers, and there are times we forgot to live. We have forgotten that we are human, that we are not lifeless. We want to find where we got lost and fix it. We are struggling, we do not hesitate to

The Proven Fact: Exercise

I start my new article by bringing to mind that I practice no scientific practice, I am not a scientist, nor they are all that the therapist said. I allow my own 'being in a better mood' journey to increase my limits of discovery, and I want to share that with others who have been on the same path as me.  This journey begins with truly wanting this journey. And embarking on an adventure isn't just about collecting images or gifts. Research, learning and using what has been learned is the necessity of this adventure. I accept the learning and what will bring that journey into my life. I will be linking the supporting resources or you can find them at the bottom of the article. Today's topic is relevant with some facts. (*) For oneself, my favourite thing is to listen to nature and the environment. When I go to a beach, I like to lie down under the sun and listen to the sound of the sea, the flight of the birds and the sounds of the stones. Those are little but enjoyable
