In the middle of the night.

In the middle of the night, a past memory came lingering back to me and then I wondered “how I handled myself?”

The first thing I thought was to write about it.

Everyone needs something to do which will make their mind go blank.

For me, it was my art.

Whenever I used to make any kind of art I used to think NOTHING!

And when I was not doing that, I used to think a lot

How can someone think 24/7?

Whoops! Yes, that’s me!

Yes, I was kind of an over-thinker, embarrassed by things that I have not seen it coming. I expect a lot from myself. So, disappointed by a lot of things. And blah blah!

While doing art, I used to disconnect myself from reality.

It feels so peaceful that nothing is bothering me,

Just you and your work.

The calmness I used to feel.

The patience that I used to learn there.

The happiness to see it taking a shape.

The feeling of being proud that I did it.

The art talked to me the way no one did.

The silence which I wasn’t even bored of.

I never needed the music to play in the background

It was me and my art that’s it.

And that’s how I started with the small steps

Only doing when I need to do it. When I needed the most.

My therapy,

My happy place.

And now here I’m building my website taking online orders writing my first blog and doing what I love.

I hope a lot will resonate with my story.

And will find something which they always wanted to do.

Tips: Take small steps

You’ll get it there where you exactly need to be and want to be.
