I Had That Day

I had that day. The day where I am down on myself and getting out of my bed is out of the cards.

Usually, I would force myself to push past this drag of a day. Instead, I decided to let myself have it for a few hours. To be sad, happy, upset, and all emotions in between.

As the day came to a close and the sun started to set at its now early hours, I decided it was in my best interest to get out of this funk. I got up, put my slippers on, and brought myself downstairs to my stack of art supplies.

I whipped out my wooden butterfly cutout, paintbrushes, and paint and went at it. To set the scene, I was blasting some J. Cole, Chance The Rapper & Drake in the background with a pumpkin candle lit in front of me.

As I didn't think anything could get me out of the rut, I must say that this act of doing shifted my mood. I went from lazy me to feeling alive and well.

The reason I am sharing this with you all is that I know I am not the only one who has these days or times (especially in quarantine). Perhaps, I am here to tell you that it is okay to feel this way.
