Recovering from a episode of major depression...

This blog shall document my struggle with a mental illness. I hope anyone that comes across it, will find inspiration to continue to live and live well. Be forewarned, if negative moods and actions affect how you feel or affect your well-being then don't read my blog. Otherwise all encouraging and carefully crafted criticisms are appreciated.

Getting a Life: Hobbies

A few days ago I went to a big box craft store...Michaels... and bought a sketch book, pencils, and erasers. I had no idea there were so many different types of pencils and erasers and paper. No I didn't ask for help. I wasn't really sure why I went into the place considering I am not very artistic or creative. I fancied that I could learn how to draw basic things. I didn't research what I needed beforehand, which is what I usually do. But that doesn't seem to matter so much I suppose I'll learn through trial and error what medium and tools fit for me.

Here's my first drawing. Keep in mind I can barely draw a straight line and have difficulty drawing circles.


Childish, I know. Hopefully you can tell it's a rhinoceros.
