It's been four months since the last time I did an art. Yesterday was Monday and I have a one week vacation due to Holidays. I decided to take a break from my job and give time to myself... because lately, I felt like I am neglecting some part of me.
 
Some part of me... my art, my photography my love for literature. I am the type of person who always make time for everything that makes me happy. Life is all about sacrifices, right?
 
I must confess that I miss drawing, sketching, painting and expressing my emotions through art. I miss listening to rock music while doing my art. Rock music and its sub genre always help me to build the emotion I needed to move my hand and create things from my imagination.
 
Again, I must confess that I can't make "Happy" art... this kind of art is not me. I can only make dark, dramatic art which talks about the deepest secret of my heart, mind, body and soul.
 
Whenever I couldn't express myself through words... I use colors to ease the pain in my heart... to lessen the burden and to just be myself.
 
Rock Music while doing art is like a dance to me. My hands dance as each notes of the songs flows through my veins. I sing as my soul dances and makes heed to the emotions which are being awakened by the Music.
 
Incomplete. Because I am incomplete...
 
Have a nice day Everyone.
 
Sincerely,
Erica/Erix
 
Things that made me happy:
  1. Talking to my older cousins. Their experiences taught me lessons and I always like talking to them.
  2. Creating my Soft Pastel Art.
  3. Singing to Rock Songs from my 2007-2009 playlist. Listening to them is Nostalgic.
  4. Playing "My Heroine" by Silverstein in Guitar. I am still terrible but it's fun.
  5. Summer Class.
  6. Eating Vegetables and Fruits.
  7. My Lemon Water in the Morning
  8. Exercising. Exercise helps me to relieve depression and sadness.
