the ‘P’ word

Procrastination—it’s like that annoying guest who keeps showing up uninvited! Balancing all the different areas of my life is something I’m constantly working on. I tend to get totally absorbed in one task, but at the same time, my mind is racing with a million other ideas. It can be a lot. I try to take it one day at a time and do my best. Some days, I’m on fire and super productive. Other days? My brain feels like a jumbled mess.

Back in 2020, during the pandemic, I started this sketch on art paper with just a pencil. My plan was to turn it into an acrylic painting, but guess what? I still haven’t finished it. Why? My old frenemy, perfectionism. This piece has become a little reminder for me to let go of the need for everything to be flawless—it’s unnecessary and exhausting!
