Have you ever felt like this red balloon? Having a day where everything feels like it’s going to pop you?
I have been drawing more of my feelings this past year or so. This was a doodle in my sketchbook a couple weeks ago, when I was having one of those sensitive, emotional days. I felt like this red balloon guy- like every little thing that day was going to poke me and I was going to burst. But my wife reminded me that the true me isn’t on the outside, but the inside. So even if I did pop, maybe that would help the real me come out. I love her perspective and it helped me. It’s easy to not just express my feelings and cry sometimes, but I’ve been learning how healing and necessary that is.
