Day 36 - Blurred Lines.

Day 36 - Hey. Do you ever find yourself questioning if there is a right or wrong way of doing everything? At times we all have serious doubts if we are making the right decisions. For example, take today. It seemed like no matter what decision made today, it seemed wrong. It didn't fit. It was a day in between other days. The decisions being made were between other decisions. It was confusing. Nothing felt right. The day didn't seem concrete but fuzzy. Blurry.

Which brings me to todays project. Take a selfie. Study it. Your hair. Your face. The background. 

Oh Boy. It's The End Of The Day. Why Did I Decide To Take A Photo Now? Maybe I should get some sleep. Yikes.

Then take another selfie but as you take the photo, move all around so the photo is fuzzy.

This Is Kinda Neat. No Blurring Powder Needed. Perfect.

Isn't it amazing how creating two similar photos can bring different reactions. For me the two photos brought up very black & white emotions. When I see the first photo, I cringe in judgement and doubt. I become hyper critical. When I see the second photo, the blurry option, it brings a sense of curiosity because it isn't concrete. Hum, it's interesting how this can project can create a new perspective. How about you? What did the blurred lines create for you?

Day 25 - Know Yourself.

Day 25 - Hey. Somedays are just crap. It just happens. You wake up on the wrong side of the bed, the cold that has been circulating catches up with the old bod and creating anything today just seems pointless. Trust me. It has been that kind of day here. Today, I wanted to just throw in the towel and say forget it. I quit.

Wait just a minute. This is when you need to pull out your LBNB and get to work. This is the right time to see what you can muster in the dark times. Maybe whip up some dark lines to help things feel better? Today, with all the effort you can summon grab a pen or marker and your notebook. Think about the person you want to be today. Draw yourself as a simple line art. Take 5 min to sketch yourself. The idea is to create the person you want to be and take time to know yourself. 

Here's mine. As you can see, I'd like to be a fully functioning adult and wear adult clothes. My hair would always look like a Parisian woman who is walking down the Rue Saint Honoré and I would be wearing the perfect shade of lipstick. Ooh la la. I feel a little better. How about you? Did creating a new you help you feel different?

Ooh la la. Look at that handbag!
