I feel like the fast forward button on my life has been pushed.
Ever since I started my new job everything in my life has sped up. Even when I am ‘doing nothing’ I feel like I just stepped out of the whirl for a second but it is still going on around me, I can still feel it, and when I jump back in everything catches up and crashes around me again.
I’ve needed to find a way to literally push pause. I think i’ve found it in painting, strangely enough.
For whatever reason putting a brush in water to blocks of colour to pads of paper relaxes and clams me and somehow stops the spinning and chaos.
They aren’t great. They are exactly what I feel in any moment. But I cherish them, so i’ll share them.
