There is something so empowering and peaceful about regaining the sense of self. It's a long process and a nonlinear healing journey altogether. But I think being conscious, present and open to ourselves make it easier for the road. Good night, good plebs. ๐Ÿค

It is a book written in Bangla. The themes mostly revolve around relationships, love, friendship and details and nuances of how our mind works. Overall, life, through a woman's gaze. I'm really feeling the feminine energy in them. Feminine and extremely intelligent. She is not a contemporary writer and I do not hold a lot of the values and views she represents but I'm just in awe with the sheer brightness and the neat style of her storytelling. And I can relate to the inner feminine self that lies in the background of each of these stories.

It's a short story compilation of an Indian writer named Pratibha Basu. ๐Ÿค

I remember when I started painting I began to feel a sense of peace in my life. I guess itโ€™s because Iโ€™ve always wanted to challenge myself. Making art isnโ€™t always easy. Itโ€™s a challenge to give shape and color to what Iโ€™m thinking about, and itโ€™s a challenge to create the artwork I want to create.

Painting is the best way to express my feelings, release situations that have been bothering me and calm myself when times are rough. All I have to do is keep my hands busy; it calms my mind and lets everything else go.

The more I create, the more my thoughts and feelings change, and the world around me changes, and Iโ€™m able to forget my worries and just enjoy the process.

This has the same effect on me as meditation. It helps me to have a more positive attitude and a different way of looking at the world.

Sometimes I look back at a painting and Iโ€™m amazed at how it can make me feel things I didnโ€™t even know I was feeling: happiness, love, pride, sadness, nostalgia, fear, and peace.

When I paint I donโ€™t have to follow any rules and I can just work without a plan.

Art rewards me and lets me see things differently. If I paint a landscape I discover different ways of seeing a landscape.

Anyone can be an artist, and the joy is universal. Art helps my escape. Art isnโ€™t always happy, but itโ€™s often a good diversion from problems, stress, and daily life. Art is vital for me. And for you.

Donโ€™t let anyone tell you otherwise!
