how my february went
🕑 Added 2021-03-01 01:47:10 +0000 UTChi hi!
Wow; February came and went for me. I can't believe I haven't posted anything this past month-- trying to amend as much as possible right before midnight hits hahaha!
Firstly, I wanted to upload a small PDF of what I've been working on this month. I haven't been sketching at all, and haven't had time for personal art since I've been slammed with my internship, practicum, community service, and school. I can show you the small projects I've worked on for work; my internship and practicum have the most random projects to work on!
An update on the counseling; I've been going for the past couple of weeks, and it's been both very good and very hard. It's been difficult to accept that a lot of what I'm talking through is actual trauma I've gone through instead of being just in my head. My counselor told me I had to let myself experience grief bursts, so I've honestly been doing a lot worse on my mental health this past month. I've had some pretty bad depression mixed with the amount of work I've had for internships and school, and I've fallen behind on my schoolwork (three weeks behind). Talking to my close friends, I understand that all of this is part of the process, so I'm ultimately doing okay, but it's also okay to say that this past month has been tough.
We've also been having some ice storms with everyone else. My house is over 100 years old, so it got crazy chilly through it all, and we experienced a couple of power outages through it. Luckily, everything is all okay! Very grateful to be okay, and I definitely hope you also have been doing well through the storms.
A really crazy, fun update is: I got my first tattoos!!
I've wanted to get a baby's breath tattoo for a long while now, and it's something I've thought about a lot. Baby's breath is my favorite flower; they're the little white flowers that come with rose bouquets. I think they're so underrated. The little moon tattoo was a lot more impulsive, but (if you've seen any of my art) you know I love celestial themes and the moon. I love stars the absolute most but think star tattoos are lowkey not cute, so I decided to get a little moon with a cute sleepy face. I'm so happy with the two tattoos, and I'm so excited for more! I'm already thinking up more ideas and placement.
How are you doing and how have you been this past month? I hope you're doing well; very excited for March, warmer weather, and more daylight!
