Jesus your newsletters always hit hard <3
I’ve never been a big fan of or even good at painting/drawing. But a couple of weeks ago I found out that it’s super calming to express your thoughts/feelings on canvas or just a sheet of paper. And you put on some nice background music or a shitty reality-TV-show that really helps your brain to relax. And you just put all your focus and energy to this piece of creativity in front of you. Afterwards, you’ll just feel good and productive. And…even if you’re nearly as talent-less as I am – you’ll have something to be proud of having done.
Thank you so much ron for this :) I appreciate it !
Thank you, Ron <3
