GET MESSY 2016 | INTROSPECTION | WEEK 4

This is our month mark of the current season of introspection with get messy. I've had a pretty hectic time in normal life recently so sitting down and creating (rather than doing DIY, travelling or working) has been a real respite for my brain. 

Future Me

- collage, ink & pen

I have never been one for having a 5 or 10 year plan, I think that life changes constantly and it's always better to just go with things. One of my least favourite questions as a child was "what do you want to be when you grow up?" because I didn't want to think about being an adult (still true) - I wasn't done being a child! So the face that I have a life that I really love is always a lovely surprise and comfort to me. 

 I'm just a girl

- collage & pen

Venting here about the limitations life has when you are female. I have always been hyper aware of the how being female has influenced my life, probably because I have an older brother so the differences were very obvious and I have feminist parents so it was never a subject not to discuss, more a subject to embrace and be aware of. It is something that still makes me very angry, the injustice that is completely un warranted just for being a she and not a he. 

Silence

- collage, felt tips & spray paint

The first thing I thought this morning, the bliss of silence. I had a migraine at the beginning of this week and post-migraine my brain treasures silence that little bit more.
