I love the lil candle water color! Things are terrifying in the states so it makes sense that yr nervous system is on edge. As someone who is white I refuse to be silent even if that brings about lack of safety for myself. I, unfortunately, from an early age learned that safety is an illusion and have had to teach myself to fight the feeling of defeat. In the face of violence I remind myself that those that do the harm are the ones that will carry the consequences even if they refuse to see it, even it takes time, even if it is after death. The wounds that are created are to be healed with one another and art is a wonderful way to process and heal, so is writing! I cannot imagine the type of fear that those whom are being targeted face but I choose to believe that if we can repair and step forward with collective care that one day many will live to see these violent systems fall. I am so proud of you for creating time for your passions and for being willing to show up through this. It is not an easy thing to do but you don’t have to do it alone either <3 gonna text u an album rec also that this post reminded me of!
Beautiful post, Auzin! I love the cloud painting so much! ☁️❤️ I bought some watercolour paints when I got back into journaling last year and would get annoyed at the paper crinkling when the paint dried. Now I realise I should invest in some proper watercolour paper! 😅
I am so proud of you my friend, your heart, your soul, your personal growth all illustrate the quality human you have become and are continuing to become. And I am so sorry we are living in such a scary time. May soft hobbies and our communities help us all.

Taping yr paper down w painters scotch tape helps a lot w this and creates a nice lil frame !
Thank you so much for the tip!
Thank you friend <3 and yes I definitely recommend splurging on the paper vs anything else! I like the brands Arches and Strathmore
