I’ve always loved circles. I once mentioned that I like stones too, and I also love eggs. people often ask me why I’m so drawn to round things. If I answer honestly, without thinking too deeply, I guess it’s because I simply find comfort in roundness. there’s something soothing about it just looking at something round makes me feel calm, and I can sense my emotions and mood becoming lighter.
It usually takes me a while to understand my own feelings and anxieties. when someone asks me about myself, I sometimes feel distant as if I’m watching from far away, observing myself quietly from a distance. that’s when I started wanting to understand myself better. I began writing a journal. at first, I just wrote about what I felt or thought each day. but over time, I realized I was writing things that didn’t really come from me sometimes embellishing, sometimes pretending to be someone else.
so, I decided to express my feelings in a simpler way by drawing circles. just as they were, without words.
every day, I found myself drawing a different kind of circle: some carefully drawn, some distorted when I was tired, some with strong pressure when I had too much energy, some in the colors I liked that day. as I continued, I began to feel affection toward these circles each one a quiet reflection of who I was that day.
nowadays, it’s easy to find out about yourself through quick personality tests or to understand others without really getting to know them. that’s amazing in its own way. but I also think it’s important to take time, to observe, to think, and to discover things in your own way. I believe that the way you come to know yourself whatever shape it takes is entirely up to you🥚
