i really do think I look like this. an alien in a human body trying to understand the species without my true identity exposed. ⠀ ⠀ but this is hard because...⠀ ⠀ i hold my heart by my fingertips and my head is always running like a million crossed wires. what should i do now? work? write? draw? relax? love? interact? withdraw? talk more? listen more? shut up. shut up. shut up. ⠀ . . this is why i just downloaded an audio book on time: how to think about it; how to manage it; how to not let it control you, etc. I'll share whatever insights i find shareable and relatable to the human species. ⠀ ⠀ have a great day, don't let time get you down, and please please don't share my secret identity❤️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #positivenergy #wordpusher #artlife #blackandwhiteart #drawingaday #beyoutiful #youbelong #cartoonartist #lifeadvice #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #youarebeautiful #youareenough #selfportait #cartoonselfie #alienart

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to anyone who has broken free of the past, who has claimed their independence from abusive relationships, negative people, bad situations, wrong paths, childhood wounds. 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ celebrate the good in you and the fireworks in your soul that ignite inspiration -- whether it's love for another or love for your own soul's work. feel the pounding of your heart and the beating of all your loved ones's hearts around you. Life is a gift, independence is a privilege, so count your blessings, now and always.💕❤️⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #relationshipquotes #positivevibesonly💯 #drawingaday #madewords #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #penartwork #spilledthoughts #lovepoems #igpoetry #igpoem #poetscorner #writeaway #fireworks🎆 #lovepoem #independenceday🇺🇸 #lovelovelove❤️#mentalhealthmatters💚 #positivevibesalways

I don't know about you, but I often wake in a bad mood, which usually stems from the gazillion things I think I need to do during the day. So when I read an article about emotions in #PychologyToday recently I was thrilled to put their advice to the test. Guess what? It works! 💥bad mood gone. Maybe it's the endorphins from the exercise or the sense of purpose it's taken me years to discover, but I find myself in a good mood more often than not. And this, is a miracle. it also is making the people around me happier. good moods are infectious peeps! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ so as you go about your weekend, try at least one of these actions to arm yourself against bad moods. get enough sleep; eat healthy; exercise; and visualize/do the thing that feeds your soul in a positive way. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ tag someone who needs to hear this too and stay tuned for more illustrated sage advice for urself and ur relationships. ❤️⠀ ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #positivenergy #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthadvocate #drawdrawdraw #mentalhealthmatters #goodmood😊 #goodmoods #emotionalintelligence #emotion_daily #inspiresomeone *credit to carlin flora in "emotional contagion" in the august issue of PsychologyToday.

when I see a couple doing something as normal as coming out of a donut shoppe I imagine whole stories about them...she was a damsel in distress; he a dashing knight. (so what if its a cliche); He was a lost soul & she saved him from an evil witch and they just celebrated their victory over evil with glazed donuts...I sometimes tell my husband my wacky stories, but he is not a creative and mostly he nods and says "nice". but Idc bc I am entertained by my imagination and that, my instafriends, is what matters. ⠀ ⠀ YOU must be yourself, YOU must live in whatever world makes YOU happy. YOU don't need approval from anyone to have your head in the clouds imagining enchanted forests and talking animals. YOU could be the next great fantasy writer or YOU could simply smile a dozen times during the day at your own humor and perspective in life. And that would be enough. ❤️. ⠀ ⠀ So today, think about your uniqueness and be proud of it. YOU are part of this world, YOU matter to the whole and YOU are simply awesome. that's right. YOU are. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #artist #lovequotes #cute #wordpusher #artlife #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #drawdrawdraw #inspiredaily #youareawesome #mentalhealthquotes⠀#headinclouds #penartwork #imagination #storytellers #beyourbiggestfan #beproudofyourself #positivevibesonly💯 #mentalhealthmatters

The other night I went to a party thrown by a parent of one of my son's friends. I sort of knew people, but didn't really know them. People at the party--mostly old friends who had known each other forever-- were laughing and having a good time and I longed to be back in a place where I had known people forever. Being the new person sucks at this point because most people don't want new friends. I regularly fight the urge to stay in bed and not try. But somewhere along the way I stopped sabotaging myself, took a deep breath, and began to make an effort. I found that most people are taken aback by friendliness, but some aren't. Some people are comfortable enough in their own skin and curious enough to let new people in their lives. These are the people I am drawn to, maybe it's survival or maybe it's because I like people who see life as a continuous opportunity to learn and to grow. I am fuelled by good conversation with new people and thrilled with the chance to connect with new friends--but on the flip side, I am super bummed when conversations die at the 'hi, I'm new' statement. I'm still learning to conquer that nasty, insecure tiny voice from 'little e', as I call her, who is stuck at the awkward 12 year old stage of feeling unlikeable, unfriendable, and just plain old socially stupid.⠀ .⠀ so today, I'd like to challenge you to say hello to someone you don't know. be curious and ask them who they are or what they do for fun. Maybe, you'll be surprised and find a new friend that will open up new worlds for you, or maybe you'll be disappointed. but the truth is, even if it goes nowhere, at least you tried, and that is the most important thing to remember.⠀ 💕❤️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #life #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #artist #wordpusher #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #getoutthere #helpingothers #outofthebox #adventurewaits #myartstyle #drawdrawdraw #makenewfriends #bebold #trying #mentalhealthisimportant #positivevibesonly💯#penartwork

Raise your hands in joy! embrace the day! Don't let anyone bring you down. It's all good, even when you think it isn't. Trust in the universe, in your heart, and know that You are worth it. ⠀ ⠀ 💕❤️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #lifeadvice #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #artist #lovequotes #cute #wordpusher #artlife #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #drawdrawdraw #inspiredaily #youareawesome #sharelove #mentalhealthquotes #bloomintoyou #lovematters #lovelovelove #positivevibesonly💯 #bepositivealways #behappyalways
