When I first started this journal back in December, it was very much a 'crisis plan' and 'reasons to eat' sort of deal. But it's grown.
It's grown and evolved with me, and I reckon it's probably saved my life in the process.
I had no idea I had any art in me. I didn't realise I would be able to cope with 'mess' and with ditching the pursuit of perfection in order to be a little more free. I didn't realise I could use art to communicate and there are genuinely times when I want to cry because I am so relieved that I am able to communicate in this way, to try and help others to help me, and help me to help myself.
This journal contains my life - the ups, the downs, the messy times and the happy times. It's come to an end and I'm not sure how I feel about that to be honest! But I have a new one lined up ready for tomorrow's painty times so that's all good.
Thank you to everyone who's encouraged, liked and commented, cheering me on with this journal journey. I can't wait to see where the next one takes me.
