a recent-ish drawing i’ve done :)

[dreamingpretty]

I’m a bit rusty, but trying to get back into drawing :) I miss this community, and it feels like Tumblr/Deviantart are dead.. hopefully I can meet new faces!

[dreamingpretty]

I think it’s wonderful enjoying simple times, like catching up with loved ones during a sunny day at the park.

Bunbuns-! Wanted to do something similar to a tamagotchi hehe.

I couldn't find out how to "like" your images, but I just wanted to say that I love your drawings and that they're very inspirational!

Hi anon! Aw, I hope my layout isn’t too confusing! If you click an image, it’ll bring you to the image’s own page. The “like” button is on the top right hand corner, like the standard blog layouts. (:

Thank you so so much!!! That makes me incredibly happy. I want Dreaming Pretty to be a lifelong project that changes with me. I’m glad you’re here with me for the ride. (:

your awesome.... your dreams are awesome ❤︎❤︎❤︎ hope you make them come true. Wish i could make up my mind too... I'm having trouble with mine.

Thank you..that really means a whole lot to me-! I hope I make my dreams come true too.  My path is still a bit muddled, but I know how I want to make myself feel.

I want to love and be loved, have an amazing work ethic, and a positive outlook in life. I feel if I work towards those goals, the goals that I’m told to have already decided on will come to me. It’s been a difficult path so far, but I’m pushing forward with all my might.

I don’t know what your dreams are, but I hope you aim to love yourself and live a happy and fulfilling life. What really helped me was specifically writing down what I wanted in life through my relationships with others, future goals, personality goals, career goals, and quotes that help me feel positive and get me through temporary moments of difficulty. I feel that when you try to specify what you want as a person, it’ll help you feel what you’re working towards every day is worth it. Of course, it’s different for every person, but maybe this may help?

If you have a specific hobby or talent that you wish to cultivate, I highly recommend the book Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin. It’s highly inspiring! (And I suggest Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell if you’d like to see those theories tested and related to other types of concepts and examples.)

Good luck anon! I hope you can find your dream too.

Hello Everyone!

Hi! I just wanted to write a little thank you to everyone. (:

Dreaming Pretty has been something I’ve been wanting to create since 2011 or so. My ideas have finally come to fruition, and honestly, it’s just the beginning. (: I have so many ideas planned that I look forward to this journey with you all!

I feel so honored to be a part of Tumblr’s Post It Forward campaign. I had officially launched Dreaming Pretty less than a week ago, so I can’t believe it’s hit 100 followers, 3k+ notes on my self-care illustration, and wonderfully positive feedback from several of you!

I made Dreaming Pretty to remind myself to push forward no matter what. I know many of you out there relate to this, so I’m glad I’m able to share it with you.

Thank you so much for the support-!! I’ll continue to improve Dreaming Pretty and become a better person!!

It’s really up to us to create our own happiness. (:

Sometimes we’re so busy encouraging those dear to us, that we forget about ourselves.

[dreamingpretty]

Several outfits I’ve doodled in my habits notebook. (:

[dreamingpretty]

Whenever I have a really difficult day, I remember that I’ve already made it through other difficult days too.

[dreamingpretty]

Made for the home page!! I actually liked how it turned out and will add more to it later on(:
