Going back to my passions

[97Bunny11]

I’m going to try and get back into drawing. When I was younger, I used to adore drawing (and reading, and writing stories) but I had stopped all of that and hid myself in the abyss of excessive YouTube and social media usage. It was/is an addiction that has stopped me from doing what I love for years. I’m at a point in my life where I can feel myself dying rapidly as I lay in my bed mindlessly scrolling or tapping away on my screen. And it’s suffocating. I don’t want to feel that way anymore. So today, I finally picked up my sketchbook and used YouTube for good to learn (or re-learn. I used to draw this all the time as a teen, but my skills diminished as time went on) how to draw an eye. I’m quite proud of it, not gonna lie.

If you don’t already, if you have the means to, I encourage those who are also struggling with something similar to try and revisit that passion of yours.

God bless you all, and take care of yourselves 🙏🤲🌙💕

You are a good sketcher definitely talented. I'm being totally paranoid here lol but I just made a post after you and mentioned youtube. Then read your post lol which also mentions youtube so just clarifying it's a coincidence I promise

Haha! Thanks, and you’re all good, lol 😂

Beautiful post 97Bunny. I can relate to having stepped away from art from the business of just life and anxiety struggles. I got back into it the past year or so. Definitely very therapeutic and healing. Ode to the inner child as well if you always enjoyed art. Thx for sharing this. And your art work.

Amazing! You’re very talented! I look forward to seeing more of your drawings!

That is a good drawing! I encourage you to continue with your artistic pursuits. I started taking piano lessons about a year ago. I took lessons as a child for about 4 years and gave it up when I was a preteen. Fast forward 54 years, and I am learning to play again. Playing piano has done wonders to help reduce my anxiety. When I am playing the piano I am lost in what I'm doing and I can't think about anything else. I wish all of us could find a passion that would help reduce anxiety and depression.
