How painting can heal you.

During these tough times in which we haven't been free to live our lives to the fullest, where our plans have been postponed, our routine has completely changed and we weren't able to travel, to go to concerts, to the theatre, to meet our family, to go out for a pizza or to go to a mall with our friends, it's only when your routine changes and you are alone with yourself that you start thinking about what to do during your free time!

Creativity in every form can allow you to keep your mind strong and to tackle a stressful time, as the Covid pandemic has been!

Being creative, is the perfect way to escape from the news, the numbers of CoVid patients that the TV fills us all up every single day.

It's free, it's healing and it saves you without knowing!

You don't need to go out of your house, but still, you can create landscapes, existent natural places, or magical scenarios only evading with your brain. Put on some music and let the creativity that is in you inspire you and lead you to a peaceful mindset.

Creativity can save you,

creativity can bring joy to your grey afternoons,

Creativity can make you happy,

Creativity is the best way to fill up your daily routine!

Are you creative? Do you have a hobby? Sure you do! You all have a creative soul, you just need to explore it! Dance, sing, write or paint, each of these hobbies can bring you happiness without being aware of it.

This last year has been kind of tough for everyone, all over the world. While we were in a lockdown, I spent my afternoons with a canvas and some brushes in my hands, and my day got brightened!

I have been painting for ten years now, but I've never realized how painting can really heal you, can relax you, can relieve you, can change your humor!

Painting allows you to calm your inner peace, to let go of all the problems during the day, to drive away negative thoughts. You need some inspiration to create something beautiful, a landscape, a portrait, a still life, an abstract image...it motivates you, it brings you joy!

Even if you are a beginner, it doesn't matter! Get started! There's no right or wrong in panting, whatever it is it expresses your feelings and gives emotions to the viewer.

Get a canvas, a drawing sheet, and some brushes with colors, and start painting! You won't know how creativity can heal your soul, relax your mind, and can change your life!

"Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
