Chap2. My own ways to express myself artistically

I have various artistic ways to express myself creatively. Since I was a kid, I didn't enjoy sitting in one place and doing nothing, so I usually scribble something on a piece of paper or run around instead. Also, thanks to my mother who made me do many things, I was able to have various experiences. For this reason, most of the artistic talents that I have are made by accumulating what I have learned before. I think art is an activity that means a lot to me, and a best medium that expresses me. So from now on, I would like to introduce some of my own artistic ways to express myself. First, drawing, calligraphy or cloisonne craft. The works that you can see below are mine. Among many kinds of art, drawing has a largest part of my life. When there are situations that I'd like to confide worries or feelings, but I can't, I often draw on myself. As the drawing is more and more completed, I feel like my mind calms down and thoughts are being sorted out. In the case of calligraphy, since I don't have to think about miscellaneous things because I just have to foucs on wirting without thinking about it, I can have a good chance to explore myself.

Second, creating my own quotes. There are times or good words other people say in life that I don't want to forget. While I was looking for a way to record these moments, I decided to change them into my own words and summarize in short sentences. Therefore, I created a new account that has only one follower (me), so I could wirte quotes or poems like a diary. At first, I wrote it about only once every three days, but these days it's so fun that I write it three times a day. Also, as time passes, It enable me to use better expressions to express ideas that I couldn't before, since they were stucked in my head. If drawing is a tranquilizer that clams my mind, I think writing is a vital energy source that makes my heart beat again.

Besides this, I like to play stringed instruments such as ukulele, to sing, or to exercise. I think it is a great happiness to have hobbies or art activites that make new meanings in ordinary life and myself. It even can changed depressing days better. If you are having misarable days or still don't have the means to express yourself, I recommend you to look for it.
