I had a moment the other day, while I was messing with my calligraphy tools, when I realized how fresh and freeing it is to make stuff that you have no intention of sharing with the Internet. This design really wasn’t something I was going to share, but I wanted it to accompany this thought I had. I was simply having fun on a Saturday afternoon, feeling the joy and freedom of experimenting and learning and making something with my hands.

The lesson here is: There is freedom in creating for yourself.

Enjoy the art of making (calligraphy, muffins, scrapbook pages, baskets, anything you love!) for yourself and only yourself. Make, do, create … all while knowing that you are not obligated to share every single thing you make, do, create on social media or with anyone, even in real life. Art is for you, so get messy, experiment, have a grand old time without the fear of “who is going to like this”.
