“Life is just a long succession of small epiphanies. You need to stop and seize them. By making art, you will be recording what you are living through and what you are learning about it. A drawing and a sentence or two in a sketchbook turns those everyday moments into something significant. Your art will set a frame around it and give you a perspective on what really matters. Over time you will build up a book of memories–a true record of what’s important in your life.”

— Danny Gregory, Art Before Breakfast

“I know you are in love with this person you thought was your soulmate and I know it hurts not getting the same love in return. I know you opened up to this person you thought would understand and I know it hurts not getting the response that you expected. But if I ask you this — ‘why do you feel the need to be heard by someone who doesn’t appreciate your words?’, what would you tell me? I know, it’s because your heart has built a home in someone who wants to stay barren and trust me, there is nothing in this world that could change it — this person doesn’t feel it, you can’t make them feel it. I know it hurts because at some point, it hurt me too. And I want you to know that this gets better — even if you don’t have hope, things will change with time. This person came into your life to break you into pieces and all you need is a little courage to tell yourself that you’ve had enough. All I want you to do, right at this moment, is to collect all your broken pieces and fix them as much as you can — even if it makes you tired, carry on. And here’s a warning, you can’t fix those pieces and become the happy person that you were before you met this person — instead, stitch those pieces with gold and be an artwork made with kindness. That’s what you need, that what I need and that’s what everyone else around us needs.” by memoirsofbilal (via Instagram)

This may be a difficult thing to see right now; this may be an impossible thing to envision, but it’s something you need to internalize. Don’t give up on yourself, okay?
