NaNoJouMo 2015 Day #5 (Art Journal Page - "This life")

 


Another page done at 4am before work. It only took about 15 minutes and it's super simple. The quote says, "What is a ship without the sea? Who am I without this life that happened to me?"

Lately I have been thinking a lot about the past. Maybe it is because I have a birthday coming up. I often get angry at the stupid choices I've made or the things that I have been thru. I know it sounds cliché to say, but it really did make me into who I am today. The things I have been thru make me appreciate what I have today. While I am not perfect, I try to be a better person than I used to be. I fail. Often. Yet everyday I try. It is sometimes easier to forget the shitty life I had before, but that shitty life is what make this one I am living now so much better.

Enough with the feelings, lets look at some art!
