The thing I hate most about depression is that it tricks you into thinking you don’t have depression. It makes you think that nothing is wrong with you, that you just feel this way because you lack value as a person. Whether that’s in your relationships, your academics, or a view of yourself, it makes you think you aren’t good enough for any of that.

“It’s not the illness,” it says, “You feel this way because it’s who you are.”

If you asked me to marry you right now, I’d say yes.

I hope that I am here someday.

We could sit for hours and not do anything. I wish we still could. Those are the moments I miss when I sit here alone.

So yesterday my friend and I watched Loving Vincent (an incredible movie, by the way, and the reason I’m on this van Gogh obsession lately). After it ended, we turned to each other like

a) hi im crying at how beautiful that was, how about you? yup? same

and b)

we should make a van Gogh painting right now

So we impulsively grabbed all the paint in the house, rolled out a big sheet of paper, and just dove in. This was our reference:

She mixed colors for the sky, and I made a palette for the grass.

At first, we tried to match van Gogh’s style as closely as possible. This corner was decidedly a success.

She was a bit nervous to undertake the bold swirly tree in the middle, but I’d say it turned out great 👌👌

At some point, though, we realized other influences might have been creeping in. These flowers? Solidly Monet.

These? I don’t even know what style they are but they are my children and I love them

In total, this took us about 4 hours, give or take. We had to stop when it turned midnight, bc…… sleep.

It didn’t end up looking exactly like van Gogh’s original (or even very much like it, for that matter), but as he himself said, “what is done in love is well done,” and we certainly made this with love and enjoyed the process immensely.

And, if I may say so myself, it’s not bad for a first time.

romanticise the simple things in your life. wake up at sunrise and listen to the birds sing. go for a walk and sit in nature and think about how beautiful trees are. visit the museum alone or with a friend and marvel at the exhibit. romanticise what you have instead of what you don’t and you’ll learn to appreciate the simple things.

“My mind is like a room where the door swings free in the breeze, and many visitors come and go and stay and vanish as they will.” - Jane Smiley, The Greenlanders

I need a person who understands what i am feeling when i say 'I don’t know'
