Spent today painting a mural on one of my walls using my old paints while listening to a brand new playlist with all new songs with zero emotional baggage attached. This proved to be a very good idea. I found myself dancing in between paint strokes. Now I'm waiting for paint to dry before applying more layers.
I chose dark saturated reds and purples, pinks and blues, all against a black background with tiny white stars... This forest is going to look amazing in the dim evening light. It pleases me. I'll probably continue touching it up for several weeks until it feels complete.
I haven't danced or painted in such a long time and today I did both at once! I should do this every day. It feels wonderful. I feel like my old self again.
