I forget.

[sumwhat_sane_sa]

I forget how peaceful my mind can be. A good session of drawing usually leaves my head delightfully vacant. Only being used to process daily needs and amusement. It's kind of like the feeling i get when i have an incredibly amazing moment with my fella.

I need to remember this. Music, art, physical activity, engrossment in work, all these things can be fantastic coping mechanisms. I'm still a bit ill but I wholly believe that i will be back to normal by thursday (When I have to work).

I'm still thinking that getting a Masters in Art Therapy is the next step for me. The journey begins January 1st. The first leg will be visiting every school with an arts therapy program in Chicago.

It's just seriously so amazing to remember these things after so long.

I'm so picky about my surroundings when i create that it makes it very difficult. Especially where music is concerned. Seriously. I will not put my pen to paper until it feels right....

ack. Sorry this is such a nice moment. I really challenge you all to find those things that help pacify the madness. Really most of life seems to be just finding ways to cope with life. It can be ruff. Ouchies.
