coloring.

Posted on 26 February 2017 by what sandra thinks

For Christmas, back in 2015, one of my sisters gave me a lovely coloring book and some fancy colored pencils. It’s one of those adult coloring books. [No… not that kind of ‘adult’!]

I forgot it existed until a few weeks ago.

It’s supposed to be relaxing… ‘Color Your Way to Calm‘. I guess I’m pretty mellow while I’m coloring…

I’ve been having a lot of ‘run-away-and-start-a-new-life‘ dreams lately… but I’d settle for a trip. A long break. From everything.

If I could leave tomorrow… if I could escape… if I could…

But… I’m left with just the dreams. Maybe it’s better to imagine… because in my mind, I can be anywhere… with anyone… or no one. I can be young and free and hungry for life. And crepes.

And I can hide… until I don’t want to hide anymore. Maybe that is calming…

    I have one of those colouring books! But from the Scottish Artist – it’s a forest one. It doesn’t really calm me down, though. Just makes me anxious because I don’t possess enough shades of green when every single page is just leaves and more leaves. haha

      This one has a lot of buildings… But I am going to try to use random colors on some of them… but that might stress me out… 😄

        Haha yeah i did the same thing! Started using blues and dark reds for leaves. And then got to the point where I just used crazy colours. Like a circle if leaves/birds was divided into 4 sections, each a different colour family lol

    I’m obsessed with the coloring books. I have to admit it is very time consuming.
