... not much more I can add to this, other than for those of you who feel the pressure of Valentine's Day, please try to relax, please don't be disappointed or depressed. It's just a day, commercialized. why should society dictate how and when you can express your love? I get the argument that it's a day to celebrate love, but in my opinion, every day should be a celebration. every. single. day. ❤️ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #life #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #artist #relationshipquotes #lastdayonearth #lovequotes #love #cute #wordpusher #graphicartist #loveadvice #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #heartshaped #valentinesday2019❤️ #drawdrawdraw

Here is to finding the courage to take a risk. Chances are you'll surprise yourself. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #relationshipquotes #positivenergy #lovenotes #love #art #artlife #blackandwhiteart #drawingaday #couragequotes #courageous #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #takearisk #sayhello #drawdrawdraw #drawing🎨#

this post goes out to everyone and anyone who has ever had a tough day, a tough week, or a tough year. Lemons are unavoidable, and lemonade has too much sugar. The solution is clear: find a shoulder to cry on, a hug to lean into, a lover, a friend, even a ... family member to stand by you while the lemons fly. and if you think you don't have anyone, call a hotline, visit an online help page, or just write in your journal all the bad and all the good, go to church if that's your thing, take a walk in nature, whatever you need to do.🙏❤️ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #relationshipquotes #positivenergy #lovenotes #lovequotes #love #wordpusher #art #artlife #blackandwhiteart #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #lemons #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthadvocate #leanonme #drawdrawdraw #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthquotes

i love february but don't like Valentine's day. why? because when you love someone you should tell them every day. every day they should feel special and valued. it doesn't take much. just a compliment or two, a thank you, a kind word. if this is too much pressure make a list of the things you love about that person and keep it handy so that when you forget or when you are angry you can find it and pick one thing to tell them. i know it's hard but being nice, being kind, loving someone else, will bring you back the same energy. try it now. and let me know how it goes. remember to be loved you must first love. and there is no wrong* way to do this if it is coming from your heart. ( *stalkers excluded). ❤️ . .⠀ .⠀ #sentimental #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #relationshipquotes #positivenergy #lovenotes #lovequotes #love #wordpusher #art #artlife #blackandwhiteart #valentinesday2019 #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #sayiloveyou #myartstyle #swoonworthy #sweetcouple #lovegrows #bekindtooneanother #appreciatewhatyouhave

While it's so easy to box up and lock up those feelings, holding them in will be completely obvious to those who love you. It's scary to be vulnerable and share what's really going on in your heart. I get that. But carrying around heavy feelings can hurt your back, can bring you down, and can make you really really sick. So today, try and pick one feeling to share. Maybe it's joy or excitement. Maybe, if you're feeling daring it's fear or anxiety. Maybe its LOVE. Whatever the feeling share it with someone you trust and I bet you'll feel a whole lot better ❤️⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #relationshipquotes #lovequotes #love #nycsubway #wordpusher #art #artlife #blackandwhiteart #drawingaday #cartoonartist #feelingshurt #TNYcartoons #penart #mentalhealthmatters #inmyfeelings #myartstyle #sweetcouple #vulnerable

There is little more that I can add to this drawing other than to suggest that you do something out of the ordinary today, or tomorrow. No matter what he or she says about hating surprises, we all LOVE to have a note reminding us how special we are to you in the least likely places. That moment of love can carry us through the dark moments of the day and even the week. If you don't live nearby, or if you don't live together, send snail mail. Because really, the little effort really does make a difference.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #drawdrawdraw #sketchbook #illustration #artist #relationshipquotes #lovequotes #love #cute #wordpusher #art #artlife #blackandwhiteart #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #lovenotes #sweetcouple #lovegrows #positivenergy #postitnotes #surprises #thoughtfulness .
