Ramblings of an Aspiring Art Therapist

Hello and welcome. I am trying to become an art therapist. Why, you ask? Kicks and giggles. Well, to be more accurate, I'm trying to make it as an artist as well as apply to grad school for art therapy. Can I do it? Follow me as I navigate this strange path I've chossen for myself and find out.

I realized that some of recovering from depression is changing your perspective on things. So I made my very first two-sided embroidery!

People helping people. That’s all this world should be about cuz all we got is each other. Love seeing this kindness from big companies. Needs to happen more often in corporate America.

Okay but what company is that? We should support businesses doing good things

They do an entire clothing line, so it’s not just shirts they offer.

Photovoltaic bricks and glass are one of my favorite technological advancements and I can’t wait to see buildings covered in the stuff.

Always defend your right to heal at your own pace. You are taking your time. You are allowed to take your time.

How wonderful, then, to live on a planet full of creatures that like to be petted!

It truly is.

I think the reason I enjoy Ghibli so much is it romanticizes the little things. It makes me want to bake, study, clean the house, garden, and more while listening to happy music and occasionally picking wildflowers and lying in the grass. It helps me find joy in day-to-day life and that’s honestly sooo important for my mental health.

Hayao Miyazaki has said on numerous occasions that he wants children to know that even when the world seems harsh and life is hard, it is always still worth living, and there is always something beautiful in it.

That mental health boost is intentional and Miyazaki wants you to believe that you should continue to live, even if just for those little things.
