(Click image below for link! Or use the drop-down Menu > Gallery) Woohoo! So I finally get some time today (well actually I slid a tiiiiiny bit off my schedule) to upload some of what I've been doing the past few years. Okay, so I wasn't as "dormant" as I originally thought. Though to be quite honest, what I've started at most this year (so far) has been my 30-day challenge sketches. I figured that if I could stick to drawing as a formed habit (studies say it takes 21 days to form a habit), I'd be able to really make it a part of my everyday routines. Somehow, this is also my way of curbing my fear of failure and my self-doubt tendencies. Actually, part of the reason I started all of this is to somehow go back to building and creating on the foundation of my self-worth, something I've been struggling with these past few years. Oftentimes, I've had to face my worst enemy here: myself. I have this "not good enough" BS that's pretty much one of my extreme Dark Side traits. And one of the wisest things I've learned so far is that the opposite of Love is not actually Hate, but Fear. Yup, fear sure does make us all human, but learning to overcome fear has always been the major challenge. I'm sure Star Wars fans can attest to that (insert Yoda's famous lines here). One of my closest friends actually summarizes everything so clearly in her blog post about Fear (click image below). She's one of the most positive people I know, and it's a powerful thing to get to talk to her and read her blog posts as she is so attuned to her spirituality. I genuinely enjoy browsing her blog as well. Check it out: In essence, this blog, Nonsensical Whim, is a manifestation of my passion to create art and to be continually inspired by art. It is a powerful way of experiencing the essence qualities of self-love, commitment, and most importantly, passion. This blog is a way for me to experience learning and gratitude for what I have been taught. It is the most tangible and visible reminder for me to never give up on what I love doing, and for me to be able to commit to something bigger than myself. More importantly, this is also a journey to finding and experiencing worthiness.
