No this isn't art and no I don't plan on making a habit of this, I promise, you can always skip this sorta thing bc this is a book for art! And I shouldn't post other things! I'm thinking of putting a symbol in the titles to mark ones like this. I also didn't have time to draw today which honestly makes me really sad, I hate when I can't

Anyway,

It's raining

And y'know what?

Sometimes, you just need to get four hours of sleep when you could've gotten five bc you've got a chance to experience your favorite thing

Sometimes, you just need to put aside the studying cause you know you've done all you can and do something else

Sometimes, you just need to go outside at the not very late hour of 11 pm and sneak around without your parents hearing and walk out in the rain

Sometimes, you just need to take a low quality video and picture of the experience knowing damn well you don't need good lighting to spark a memory

Sometimes, you just need to write cheesy things even though it's not that late and you'll probably regret it in the morning bc it's good to value the moment once in a while, no matter how scary that is

Sometimes, you just need to post in the wrong book and worry through your justifications and do it anyway, and feel guiltily happy to have done it, since maybe you're getting a little more bold

Sometimes, you just need to stop thinking so much and so hard cause that's what's trapped you in your own tiny, turbulent brain for so, so long

Sometimes, you just need to appear as though you're acting deep but fully embrace being the opposite and splashing surface level ponderings just like the puddles outside

Sometimes, you need to take a second to breathe in the soft scent of petrichor

Sometimes, you need to take a second to breathe

Sometimes, you need to breathe

Sometimes,, I need to breathe

That applies to anyone reading this, anyone who needs a reminder to take care of themself, because while I may not, you certainly do, it's not selfish in the slightest <3
