A legitimate #sneekyfox #watercolourstudy i squeezed in this week. I haven’t been able to fit in much time to paint and it is, almost literally, breaking my heart. My commission pieces at least make sure I put paint to paper and I’m so grateful that I have them, but I’ve been really struggling to make time for ‘my’ art. Any free moment I have I cram with uni work and feel guilt and stress if I’m doing otherwise. I keep reminding myself that I am studying to progress my art and work towards the life I want. It’s hard to hold the sentiment though when I feel so frustrated at not having the time to spend right now doing what makes me happiest. But maybe, just maybe, all this stress is helping me realize just how much I do want and need this dream of mine, and maybe one day I’ll savor and value it all the more * * * #futuregains #watercolour #watercolourart #painting #dreams #design #creativelife #istheresuchthingasbalance #tootiredtophilosophise #fox #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #bpd #bdprecovery #creativejourney
