Although many of us feign being happy, we tend to cover up what is really going on underneath. Depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and sometimes more. Though it's not all bad. The blues, whites and greens surrounding our friend are a contrast to the negativity. They are the joyful changes and atmospheres that surround us. There is hope, there is love, there is joy, and they are all coming to us. If you feel like crying, let it out. If you are angry, find a creative outlet to vent. If you are stressed, breathe, close your eyes and meditate on something you love. Hand painted acrylic on canvas, over several late nights when I could focus whatever emotions were motivating me. I hope you can see the positive message surrounding the pain. It will get better.
