parrot content + copy

life, work, and the discoveries of an imperfect life.

Haven't posted on Tumblr for a while but I realized I was missing some great content. I logged on this morning on a whim and found a bunch of posts about #coping and it was exactly what I needed.

I've been dealing with a lot of personal difficulty lately and there has been one activity that I've used to cope again and again: art. I love seeing other artists' work on Tumblr so I've decided to post some completed and in progress work here.

Life is difficult... knowing you can fall back on your coping skills makes it bearable in the hardest moments.

sometimes being a Responsible Adult™ doesn’t mean cooking a balanced meal. sometimes it means adding a spoonful of nut butter to your microwave meal so at least you get some protein. 

sometimes it means buying a gallon of the one brand of vegetable juice u like, so you get some green stuff into your diet.  

sometimes it means running the dishwasher twice when u can’t rinse stuff by hand, of using paper plates so the dishes don’t pile up.

sometimes being a Responsible Adult™ means getting your body & mind the stuff it needs in an unconventional way. sometimes it means realizing there is no such thing as the “right” way. there is only what you can manage, and what works for your situation.

This is a profound and realistic post about adulthood and coping.

Anybody a clue about who could have created this? I bought it in an antique store yesterday. Apparently it's at least four or five decades old. (at Dover, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvHgd56DaFf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11f1ygnwe5huq
