WELCOME TO A WORLD RUN BY
So this week in my art class we were tasked to make a pictogram around the idea of the whole quarantine thing. Not a great way tp take my mind off of things, but it was easy and simple and it allowed/forced me to be a bit creative since that has been hard to do lately. . Basically, we have to create a drawing using simple shapes that can depict a more complex idea, such as a simple sun drawing with a circle and some lines or the simple human figures used on restroom signs. . We can either create a drawing with the ideas of:
I ended up going with the second topic since I wanted (and need to for my mental health) steer away from the first at the moment. . We also had to write a little explanation for our drawing. I'm not going to include all of that writing since it gets a bit personal, but I may put a bit of it below. Honestly, I’m having a hard time with this quarantine. We all are. I feel all sorts of things and run through so many emotions one day to the next. . I feel like I’m in a bubble. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been outside much, but I was outside a lot these past two days and it still feels the same. I feel trapped. Able to look outside and I want to pop the bubble and get out, but I’m stuck inside from fear and anxiety. I’ve been watching a lot of Disney and Barbie movies and shows. I revert to a younger me when I’m upset or distressed. I watched Frozen two for the second time and a lot of the songs have been stuck in my head. “Lost in the Woods”, “Into the Unknown”, “When I’m Older”, and especially “The Next Right Thing”. . A lot of the lyrics and honestly to the whole song is very relatable at this point in time. . “I've seen dark before, but not like this. This is cold, this is empty, this is numb. . The life I knew is over, the lights are out. Hello, darkness, I'm ready to succumb… . This grief has a gravity, it pulls me down. But a tiny voice whispers in my mind. You are lost, hope is gone. But you must go on. And do the next right thing… . I can't find my direction, I'm all alone… . Just do the next right thing. Take a step, step again. It is all that I can to do. The next right thing. . I won't look too far ahead. It's too much for me to take. But break it down to this next breath, this next step. This next choice is one that I can make… . And, with it done, what comes then? . When it's clear that everything will never be the same again. . Then I'll make the choice to hear that voice. . And do the next right thing.” Stay safe everyone <3
