Hallo my friends,
how are you doing? This is the second blog post in June – again I skipped a week and I’m very sorry for that. My mood was down in the past weeks and with a bad mood it’s difficult to write anything interesting or positive. But the sun is shining again and so I’m here and I hope to write a good post for you today! 🙂
Why do I write about sunshine?
Because the sun had an impact on me and my mood and that’s why I started thinking about some links I hadn’t thought about before.
The past weeks, even the past months were hard. First life was reduced to something like an emergency plan and then it was shaken through by the way we thought about how people are treaten because of the colour of their skin or their origin and religion.
I don’t know how much this affected you and your creativity but I felt sad and angry and like any of my art could be enough to express what is important right now.
A “cloudy” mood and a cloudy and rainy world outside, too.
That’s not a very good combination.
Thank God the past two days were sunny and I was finally happy again. The vitamin D made his job and I was much more active having fun with my children, being funny and hopeful.
So why do we expect from us to always function the same if the circumstances change? We don’t live in a bubble and we are allowed to react to changing moods, changing weather, changing thoughts.
As I said before my biggest problem in the past weeks was that I thought that my art is not worth it because it is not political. But having lived this good day again, I know that it is worth it. It is my way of expressing myself and maybe I’m mostly painting flowers because I want to give some more beauty to the world for the people who are like me, who need a little bit of sunshine to get activated again. Because just when you are active you can change something, right?
I hope it’s sunny in your homes and – even more important – in your hearts, too.
Stay happy and creative!
Yours, Thea
