finished the sketch i made

------

i have been in an art slump for years!!!! i wasnt able to do anything with arts and every time i attempted to do so, it feels like i have this imposter syndrome :((( so it really really feels good to be able to finish thissss. i sent it to my bae and he said i should add colors but nooooo i have the capability to ruin it with colors 😭😭😭

also, i have an inspo from pinterest soooo big thanks to the owner of such amazing art! this really inspired me though i have really doubts if i could pull this off because first, it's beautifully done and so intricate 😭 i did not include the third lily and just added a little poetry bcs we're extra like that 😂

well, that's it for monday. 'til next art sesh

work

praise and worship

no pressure, just progress

-------

okay, so last sunday , i opted to start the 100 days of productivity challenge but I wasn't able to post it here (way to start a "productivity" challenge but lack of discipline?!?!) yes, thats quite questionable so that is why i will not be including it in the challenge 😂

anyway, my day went so productive! i got work in the morning in the sabongan as a teller (thats my part-time work) and then at night i attended a praise and worship with team doc sha. thats just really it. but really, i was so tired from work then went home for a bit before heading out to attend the p&w. my experience was soooo eye opening. i t's like i get to reconnect myself to God. i am not a religious kind of person but during that time, it feels so good having the time to talk God. i prayed and cried. literally! it was not just my heart but also tears were streaming in my face! i really am touched by that experience 🫶🏻

If you have to go out of your way to impress someone, you already lost…

[aloneandbaka]

You have to learn how to say no without you feeling like you’re being mean. Setting boundaries is how you see who does and doesn’t respect you, your time, or your emotional well-being. Anyone who sees your boundaries and thinks your being mean or tries to push that boundaries is not a person you owe your time or attention.
