overthinker 🗯️
look who's back with another kind of self-reflection drawing because a lot is happening in life and there's so much to do but, let's stop everything important and draw because i feel like it and not because i have time for it! 😂
i've just been grappling with lots of thoughts about head and heart, why i choose to do things, why i'm in school, why i don't do certain things, why i don't push myself harder, why i am pushing myself harder, forgiving myself, am i forgiving myself too much, why am i not doing this and that, why am i focusing on this and not that etc. etc. etc.
typical things, your every day worries, every day imposter syndromes, every day ups and downs
it's always around this time of year too.
the end of a blissful summer, my birthday, midterms, current events
it's a lot.... it's a kind of blurby time of the year and even more so that it's my second year out here in the wild all by myself alone with my thoughts 😂 you know when the silence of a room becomes apparent and you can hear the ticking of the clock and suddenly you're hyper aware of your existence? i'm just rambling... just wanted to let my silly little feelings out of the box because i've filled up a lot lately. i'll admit i'm overwhelmed, but in a good way, i'm grateful that i can feel and experience this much and let it out.
i sometimes wish i was more eloquent and organised with my thoughts and feelings but you know what i have so many 800 word organised structured cited papers to write... why does my silly little post about my silly little feelings have to be...
thanks for reading if you did, i still feel hesitant about posting corny feelings shit like this because i like to be a facade of happy colors and lols and not emo stuff but im a feelings gorl so i cant help it haha
i hope you're doing good too, or better, or even if everything sucks right now i hope it sucks a little less tomorrow
haha love ya!

it's bijou's bday today!! sharing this tarot card recreation i did for her gift 🐰🩷🪽 – the original animal is a lion but i think yvon is a mighty animal too 🙂↕️⭐️ happiest birthday to one of my dearest friends 🫶 (original card for reference on the right)
meaning (thetarotguide.com):
The Strength Tarot card is the Major Arcana card of inner strength. It represents mastering raw emotions in order to bring calm to yourself or a situation. It is similar to the Chariot in that it represents overcoming challenges. However, the Strength card usually refers to inner challenges. Overcoming the obstacles we face in relation to our own doubts, fears and anxieties. In a general context this card indicates that you are learning to master your fears and anxieties, to be courageous and daring. You have all the skills you need to be successful, the focus now is to conquer your inner worries and believe in yourself. Take the time you need to master your emotions, be patient and compassionate with yourself and you will find a new confidence in yourself and your abilities. Strength, as well as being representative of taming your emotions, can also represent taming someone else’s wild ways. This is not done by trying to dominate the other person but by gentle coaxing, positive reinforcement, encouragement and compassion.

It's the year of the horse!!! I've officially made 2 full cycles of the chinese zodiac this year 😫 and so I felt it was only appropriate I did a drawing 😆 I've been quite obsessed with my fortune (as with it being my zodiac year) and I found out 2002 is a waterhorse year and 2026 is a firehorse year– hence! the fireboy and watergirl reference 🤣
to my friends who celebrate, may you have a great time with your friends and family. and I wish you good fortune and happiness 🍊🍊

Made while we ate salmon, made candied salmon, waited for salmon, ate salmon again, and watched criminal minds 🥸😛
haven't drawn all year, but had this idea pop into my head a 2 weeks ago so i did it during my long flight
