When Inspired...

I've been inspired by geometric designs lately, unfortunately, however, I don't think I'm any good at it. But here's an idea that always comes to mind but I never do: Why not try doing something you're not good at but enjoy doing and see how it makes you feel?

Drawing puts me in a relaxed mood and I thoroughly enjoy doing it. I may not be the best at it but I love it. I have never done anything geometrical before, but I have always wanted to. So I tried it out on Tuesday afternoon. I did some swirls on a napkin Monday night while hanging out with my brother and I connected some triangles and diamonds together in line with the swirls. The next day I decided to take that little sketch onto my sketchbook and just keep going. It was so soothing and relaxing. I think I might take it into Illustrator and begin creating something new. Why not, right?

Anyways... I am mostly writing this because I am proud of myself for taking the first step into doing something new. It doesn't hurt to try, at least I don't think it hurts to try. There are times where I'll feel like everyone is holding me back and doesn't want me to succeed but it's really me who's holding me back. Only I can stop and motivate myself. I have talent- I am not without skill. Taking that leap into creating a not-too-bad geometrical doodle was really great to do! I feel great! I enjoyed doing it as much as I do when I create my pointillism skulls and flowers (which reminds me, I should finish my flowers). I am writing this to also inspire those who feel weighted down. Try something new, you'll be happy you did. Let the journey continue.
