This week's question is: "Why did i do that?"

I thought about this one for a long time and then decided to do it about something that's been on my mind a lot lately. I seek validation from so many people. Oftentimes from sources where I'm unlikely to get it. And I don't trust myself or my abilities and this is something I need to get better at. Each time the validation doesn't come I find myself asking "why did i do that to myself?" because it hurts so deeply.

I did this tag to remind myself that I need to "trust me" and my ability to judge my art, my writing, my photography, my coding, etc. and not seek validation elsewhere.

I looked down my list and realized hand-stitching was one of the few things I hadn't done so I stamped a few hearts and hand-stitched them.



I am combining Emily Falconbridge's art journal questions with trying a new technique each week. You can see the full list: here.
