Even though it’s lumpy, that doesn’t mean the orange isn’t great! 🍊
I haven’t drawn myself in a while, but this one felt too personal not to. I think society has a big emphasis on “fixing” yourself, which makes sense in the way of therapy or growing as a person. However, sometimes you don’t need fixing because you’re not actually broken. I thought I needed to be more resilient to stress and anxiety, but I actually needed to be kinder to myself, by putting less pressure on myself and working less.
It’s still a work in progress for me, but I hope it can be a little helpful to you all! ♡
