Soooo if you haven’t already noticed we’ve now entered the month of July……that came around pretty quickly, it was a little unexpected actually, just like the month of April, I also thought there’d be a 31st to this month, buuut there wasn’t, making yesterday the last day of June…….
Kinda crazy ain’t it, I think i’m always expecting there to be a 31st to every month, now that i’m thinking about it, but I always forget not every month has a 31st to it, leaving out February, that’s the only month I know without question that there’s only 28 days to it, unless there’s a leap year happening than of course there’s that extra day to it, making it to be 29 days of that month…….still find it weird that it’s like that, but I guess it keeps it different.
Not a lot to say with this month…..I mean to be fair it literally just started so it’s not really to be expected to have a lot to say, unless some of you have already had something happen to you today that you’re eager to express on whether that’s big or small than that’s a different story ha……
Last month was okay I guess…..at least until the end of it, yeah this past weekend wasn’t really all that great, some unexpected things happened, that I wasn’t really prepared for, so the ending of June ended up being a little bit of a bittersweet moment……but we’re now in July and having to leave June where it’s at……I just thought of something,
I know I said that this month showed up pretty quickly, but it actually didn’t……if anything it took it’s sweet time arriving and is more unexpected than feeling like it came rushing on through, I actually feel like the summer’s been a lot longer than usual……maybe that’s just me though!?
Either way, even though June had its ups and downs so to speak, July….well I don’t really know how it’s going to go or what to expect from it, I know in someway though it’s going to be different now and there’s a lot that might happen, most of it is most likely going to be unexpected and it’s either going to be a lot or in the middle, whatever way it goes, I feel i’m going to need to keep my feet planted in the ground a little more firmly all while doing my best to keep it all together somehow…….but it should be alright though
It might be tough and it’ll probably get overwhelming, but as long as I remember to breathe to keep calm……it should be fine…….
How’s July starting out for you guys!?
P.S.Here’s a new doodle I just recently gave color to, I created it in early June, but didn’t color it in until about the middle close towards the end, i’d say middle like probably a week after or so creating it!!
Just so you know, this is a second attempt to properly explain what I wanted to talk about before, you’ll see what i’m talking about later, for now let’s see if we can process this on a different prospective, we all have different prospective when talking about a topic each time, when you think about it, it’s actually pretty interesting yeah!? I think so too, in this post we’ll be talking about about Vibration and Energy two things that pretty much go hand in hand, now my first attempt at this was…….an attempt that hopefully had a good amount of insight on, we’ll see of course soon.
When thinking about vibration and energy or vibrational energy it’s pretty similar to Earth’s magnetic field, both have their own way of keeping things in order let’s just say, now we can’t see our own vibrational energy, same way we can’t really see earth’s magnetic field, now just because we can’t see it, doesn’t mean that we don’t feel it, anything that comes into contact with our own magnetic field will either shake us slightly or have some kind of huge impact, just like the magnetic field of the earth, now we all know that the earth’s magnetic field is there to protect the earth of any serious impact
Could our vibrational field do the same or is it already!? from my viewpoint i’d like to think that in a way our vibration does the same to protect us like the earth’s field, just in a different way, from what I learned everything is vibration and with vibration it’s important to make sure that our vibrations are rotating or better yet moving in a neutral speed, the vibration that is ours requires a good amount of care, if our vibrational field becomes disturbed greatly it’ll tip everything off it’s natural axis…..
That includes our energy, moods, thoughts, emotions all the above, it’s important to keep it as grounded as possible and keep it from spinning either too much as well as too little, we have to keep it at a well steady speed otherwise everything begins to flip upside down, now it’s not always easy to keep our vibrations from going out of wack, same goes for all the things floating around in space, I mean who knows how quick they speed or float by……well I guess scientist do, but you know what I mean…….
Our vibrational field is pretty sensitive, especially when a lot of things are going on so anything and everything can tamper with the way that we become affected, it may be a big effect or just a slight one, but either way there will always be some kind of effect, are some avoidable!?
Yeah, but also not always, how we tend to what enters our atmosphere, will determine how long it’ll take to recharge and heal, but no matter how off our vibration and energy may be we will always get it to return at a normal state and speed, as long as we can keep it calm and centered, we’ll be fine.
Here’s a doodle of mine the I did a while back, i’ve been debating on whether to give it a black background or just keep it the way it is, when I hung it up on my wall today I actually thought it looked quite nice the way it was, although I still wonder if I should add the black to it or not, but I do also like it this way so I might keep it, I also think it fits well with this post!!
Hiya so how’s everyone’s day going or shall I say how has it been!? Since it’s already pretty dark out, I hope it’s been going well, my days been on a bit of a swirl around, what does that mean, I don’t know, it was the first thing that sorta came to mind…..speaking of mind i’m feeling like chatting, but nothing that’s going to be too deep, you know, i’m kinda in the mode where I need to keep my mind occupied, it hasn’t really been able to properly focus,
So I thought instead of writing about something deep or how i’ve been writing these past few days, we could just chill out and talk about something, I hope that’s alright…..i’m not really sure what’s been up today, but i’ve just not been able to really focus for some reason, i’ve actually been doodling more today then i’ve been writing and I was trying to come up with something all day to share, but nothing really stuck out to my liking and so that’s why the title for this post is doodle chats,
The concept to it is being able to just keep at a calm level while doodling and just talking about things, what things!? Who knows, I guess you can say their randomized, they probably should be around the doodles I do and why I made them, but it’s a bit hard to describe your doodles, if you freely draw based off what you’re emotions and thoughts are, the doodle I made today, I made two actually, one isn’t really finished and as for the other one,
It’s finished, but it isn’t colored or outlined, i’ll outline it tonight, not sure about coloring, because I don’t have any colors in mind for it yet, when I finish outlining it i’ll share it with you guys, maybe you can try and interpret the reason I might’ve created it, but other than that, I don’t really have much else to say here, if anything pops up i’ll share it of course.
Here’s the doodle from today, not sure if you can tell much on what it actually is, I know with drawing’s especially doodles it’s hard to really make out what the picture is, i’m not really sure myself what it is, but I do still see something in it, maybe you might as well, it might be different to what I see, but everyone’s perspective is different right!? I know it doesn’t have color so it may not look like much, once I decide on what colors to use, maybe it’ll be more clear to what it could be or maybe it’ll still be questionable ha!!
I literally have nothing to write about today, I tried coming up with something earlier and by earlier I mean around the afternoon, sorta late afternoon to be exact and I just ended up making two new doodles while listening to ambient space meditation music, I went through a few before choosing the one i’ve been listening to these past few days….
That really wasn’t important, but I just felt like saying it, also is it okay to say how I have a hard time getting comfortable these days!? because it’s true……you can’t see it, but i’m beginning to feel a little frustrated right now, you know it’s bad when you realize you’re giving yourself a headache.
I’d love to give you guys a great post or at least somewhat interesting in a way, but I seriously have nothing that is interesting to share or give you, i’m really sorry about that…..hopefully tomorrow’s post isn’t so short.
Blogmas is starting to be a little harder than I thought……
P.S. I will share one of my doodles for you guys tomorrow once i’ve finished outlining them, I still need to color a lot of them, I just have really decided on any colors for them yet…..
You can tell a story in many different ways, from artwork, pictures, music, anything really, but what’s the best way to tell a story!? This is a question that I literally just came up with and hope to have it be a post for today, my favorite way that I feel you can really tell a story is from music.
You tell a story from the lyrics of the music you’re listening to, most people prefer the instrumentals or beats behind it, but the real gem for me comes from the way the lyrics are written, now i’m not saying all music have great lyrics, there are some songs that don’t really correlate the best with the way the music sounds, but it doesn’t mean there’s no story behind it,
It just sometimes can get lost in the way it’s being delivered, but I guess everyone has their own way of interpreting so we can’t really say much, you can only go with the genre and style of music that feels and is best to you!! If you didn’t already know, I love a great written song, hopefully that line makes sense……apart from a great writing style, i’d be lying if I said that I didn’t also appreciate the way the music gets arrange instrumentally.
Besides having a song that speaks to you or pulls you in with the lyrics, I love it when i’m hearing a song and the music, you know the way the instrumental moments wraps the song up nicely, welcoming it with open arms and just letting it be what it is, but also getting it’s moment to be what it is as well, it’s just wonderful!!
You’re getting to feel the whole essence, the whole journey that the songs goes on and with each instrument or beat if you’re more on that pitch or field……you really start to admire what the song is and what it’s about and knowing all of that, you’ll start to fall in line and space out with it, you can’t go wrong with that kind of combination you know!?
We all have songs though where we listen to it specifically for the lyrics and some just because we love the way it sounds instrumentally, but when you find that combination where both go hand in hand and you feel it from both sides, you know you’re listening to something good!!
That is my take on what I feel to be the best form of storytelling, but again there’s many ways to tell a story, another form that I like is art!! Drawing painting things like that, with art you get to see things in a whole different perspective that isn’t music related…..when you look at a picture, be it portrait or landscape, you are challenged to interpret what it is you see, what you think the painting or picture is trying to say and if you’re able to,
You then have to determine what the feeling of it is and compare it to your own, it can be the same or it might be something completely different. Art gives you the chance to create and interpret how you want to and it let’s you feel what you want without having to give reason or explanation, that’s why I like doodling, I get to make things in an abstract way without letting you know how i’m truly feeling, sometimes we don’t want to talk,
So we talk by making something if we’re able to, you can be in the worst mood and make something, but people won’t know you were in a horrible mood unless you go and tell them, but you don’t have to and that is the beauty of art making, you can create however you please and leave it all up to be interpreted and guessed upon without having to say a word.
So what in your opinion is the best way to tell a story!?
That was a line from the song that everybody if not most people know called Superstition by Stevie Wonder, a good, but also classic song might I add…..so as you may all know, today is Friday the 13th, for a lot of people this day is seen to be quite the luck and I don’t mean good luck, in all honesty I don’t know why this day is seen as such bad luck, but it is and has been for many, many lifetimes, come to think of it, who felt this day to be bad luck anyway!? The world may never know, but personally it’s just a day.
I think you take with it how you want to take with it, will I say it’s bad luck, I don’t know, i’d be lying if I said I too don’t believe in the whole superstition ways of life, now do I go to extreme’s with it……I don’t think so, however I do have certain things here and there that I like to be on the safe side with, yeah I know, crazy!! Why would I believe in that if it’s not real, I mean weren’t they created to scare people or be pulled as some kind of prank!?
Possibly, I believe it, but some things you just want to be safe on and there’s nothing wrong with that, whose to say that some of them aren’t real!? We really don’t know……when it comes to Friday the 13th being a day where lot of people see it as a not so great day, well I don’t know, can a day really be unlucky!? I’d say it really depends on how the days going, one day can go by smoothly, while another may go by a little roughly……
Sometimes you can just tell when a day is going to be one of those days, just by the slightest of things happening around you, but it doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to turn it around in someway, it’s just going to take a bit of extra energy to do so.
Now would you consider those days to be unlucky too or would you just pull through it!? Exactly, just because today’s day is considered a superstition day, doesn’t mean it actually is, if we consider one day to be unlucky than we might as well say the rest of the days are unlucky!!
Friday the 13th is just a day that sometimes can be an extra energy kind of day, is it an overall bad day!? I wouldn’t say so, but everyone will have their own perspectives on it and that’s completely fine, but if we’re talking about superstitions all together, well it’s a thing that can be seen as ridiculous and not so ridiculous, it all really depends on what you believe in.
Sometimes with superstition we naturally kinda take on it, without really being aware they we’re taking on it, so for example:
Salt, if we spill it accidentally or something, we’ll throw it over our shoulders just to be on the safe side, which shoulder!? I can’t remember I think it’s the left, but it might be the right, all I know is it gets thrown over a shoulder, but that is the kind of thing that most or some of us will sorta do without really thinking about it…..even if we don’t believe in all things superstitious, there’s always something to it that tends to stay with us.
So which Superstition do you believe in!? Do you even believe in Superstitions, if so do you think Friday the 13th is actually unlucky!?
P.S. Here’s a new doodle that I made yesterday, I took some stuff out from it and added a few things to it today, I prefer it this way then to how I had it before, don’t worry not a lot was taking out!!
You ever walk into one room and have it feel different to another room!? If you said yes then cool, me too!! If you said no however well then, it feels different. You can really tell a big difference in energy when you walk into a room, you wouldn’t think so, but you can!!
It’s quite interesting when you think about it!? Depending on the energy in a room or place you step in, you’ll find that even you yourself, will be effected, short story time, the day that I went and got my very first facial or maybe the last time I stepped into Ulta, well okay it was that day, but i’m talking maybe before that, I don’t know, when I walked in there,
I could feel the whole vibe of the place and it was actually really nice, the energy there felt really great, which was kinda surprising and the reason I say that is because, you don’t really get that often when going to places like shops and all that jazz, it was really cool!! I remember even saying to the lady, remember the story where I talked through the facial!?
Yeah, well I even said to her how nice the energy was there, it’s good going some place and feeling a good amount of energy, it’s like breathing fresh air and enjoying it you know!? That kinda of thing is pretty rare…….
When you really think about it overall, it’s pretty interesting knowing how just one room alone can have it’s very own individual energy so if you ever walk into a room and the energy is slightly off then try to avoid it and come back to it later, but if you walk into a room and the energy is pretty darn great, don’t be afraid to acknowledge it and take it in for the moment and enjoy it, I mean who knows when you’ll feel an energy that nice again!?
Just saying!!
P.S. Here’s one of my recent doodles:
I’m not sure why I chose today to post it, but I did, I guess I just felt like sharing this one, it was different to what you’re seeing now, not too different, but kinda, I ended up fixing it a bit to make it a little better, don’t know why, I just felt it needed a bit of tweaking done to it……..
I might actually have some colors in mind for this one, I just don’t know in which way I want to add them in just yet, it’ll come to me though!!
So today was pretty interesting, something happened a little earlier today that I cannot begin to tell you without really going into details about it, let’s just say it happened in a unexpected way and that I hope everyones okay!!
I hope you guys are okay too, question, is it just me or has the days been pretty out of wack these past few days!? For me they have, last Friday felt like Saturday, Saturday felt like Sunday, Sunday felt like…..well Sunday with Monday mixed in it, Yesterday felt like Tuesday and today well I wasn’t sure whether it was Tuesday or not, I asked a few times today to be sure.
It is Tuesday, don’t worry, I sometimes feel like the days like messing with us they appear as one day, but totally feel like another which is really weird, but today was pretty good i’d say, I got new glasses, two actually and i’m happy with them, one is brown with dots, it’s kinda got that cheetah look to it and my other ones are two toned one part is black and the other other part is beige, those ones are my favorites, but the other ones are nice too!!
Quick Note:The green ones were my first ever pair of glasses and I was excited about that, you wouldn’t think someone would be so excited and happy to get glasses, but I was, the two neutral ones are the new pair that I got earlier today, I was also pretty happy getting them, I don’t know I just really like glasses, I think they’re really nice, they’re easy to work with too!!
As for the rest of day, it’s been something, again it’s been good, but it’s also been mind rattling at the same time, i’m still like “that happened” to myself like wow, that’s insane, I know me talking this way has probably got you guys confused or maybe it hasn’t, I don’t know, i’d tell you, just not now, it’s one of those things where i’d really have to go into detail to explain and it’s also one of those things where should I even bother explaining, because it’s a pretty weird topic, so that’s why i’m going to share it with you a little later.
It’s a post on it’s own, believe me, but for now that’s all I kinda got, I know this is pretty short, I hope you guys don’t mind though, if I happen to have a different thing to talk about that I want to share within a post, i’ll be sure to write about it, other than that, I hope you all are having a good day or night and I hope the week is going well for all of you as well!!
P.S.I made another doodle today and yes it’s black and white for now, until I can come up with a color for it as well as my other ones, they’ll stay black and white……not that they look bad in black and white, I just want color!!
Don’t mind the pencil left there, it’s on the outer part so whenever I remove it, it won’t be on the actual doodle here
Happy Friday Everyone!! Hope you all are doing well and have had a good week and day, my day was okay, not too bad, since we’re at the end of the week I thought let’s talk upon the topic of meditation.
Disclaimer:This was the post I was talking about guys, here’s the heads up!!
Back to the post, meditation what is it!? Well if you ask me, I would have to look up the actually definition of it to have a better understanding of, but for the most part it’s pretty much just a way of relaxing, clearing the mind, body all that jazz!! It’s a good way to destress, so they say and by they I mean people who actually meditate, now I said in my last post that i’d tell you about the times I tried meditation, which I will, right now so you guys don’t have to wait too long, the first time I tried mediating……
I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right and I found it a little weird while I was doing it, a lot of things are pretty weird to me these days to be honest, the first time I tried it, I watched a 5 minute meditation video and it was one of those guided meditation videos, you know where they talk you through it telling you to breathe in and out and to focus on your breathing and so on.
Again it was only 5 mins, but for a 5 min video it did take a bit of time to get through, the reason I feel I didn’t do it right is because, I know with meditation you’re supposed to relax, but I am terrible at relaxing which i’m sure you all know by now, I was trying to follow along and really listen to the voice and what they were saying, meditation isn’t hard, but it also is…..
When meditating you have to learn to clear your mind and relax both the mind and body so that way it works, but with me, well I don’t meditate often for one, this was kinda my first time really trying it out, i’ve never really done a guided meditation before that’s why it felt so weird also when it comes to clearing of the mind…….i’m not the greatest with it at all,
I’ll still have thoughts just swarming around my head, so trying the guided meditation where they talk you through it, yeah it didn’t really help all that much, I wasn’t chilled out or relaxed after listening to it, however listening to mediation music without the talking, has helped to keep me calm…..for the most part anyway, I still have moments where even when i’m listening to some kind of meditation music or atmospherical music that is calming, I still go in and out of intense emotions, stress anxiety things like that.
I just don’t really know how to stop thinking that’s my only problem, I think too much and I don’t allow myself to relax mentally and just in general, but after a while I slowly turn my focus on the music and what i’m doing, be it reading, doodling and sometimes writing, when it comes to writing I mainly do it in silence because it’s the only way I know how to focus on it and when it comes to everything else, I try and zone out for the time being so I don’t go and drive myself mad with all the thinking and everything in between.
Point of story, meditation is good, you just gotta allow yourself to relax and just not worry about everything else for a bit, it’s not easy to do and if your a thinker like I am, it’ll take some time getting use to, but i’d say if you’re having a hard time relaxing, just take your time with it,
Slowly find your way through, for some people it takes longer to relax, but you have to allow yourself to relax, otherwise you won’t, believe me!! If you work better having someone talk to you, try a guided meditation if you relax better when there’s little noise meditation music should help, I recommend the atmospheric kind, but you can just chose what you like, which ever works best for you, however way you’re able to relax go for it.
I’m still getting the hang out what meditation is and finding the best way to relax, i’ve listened to a few good meditation songs already and just calming music in general as background noise, ones without words and are hours long and when I say hours I mean 3-11, well the one I was listening to yesterday is about 11 hours, almost 12 (11 hours, 55 mins and 01 second)
Although that’s very long, it’s a nice one!! Now i’m going to be honest here, you need a lot of patience meditating, if you aren’t the patient kind, I don’t know if quiet meditation will be the thing for you, you might find other things that help you relax and that’s fine, everyone has their way of relaxing, but I still think having calm music in the background for a bit
Can really help to put you in a relaxing mode, even if it’s just playing while you’re doing something else, but again however way you relax is fine!!
I think that’s all I have for you guys on this post, i’m going to be honest, I don’t even know how I wrote all this, my brain right now is pretty much done for the day, it’s so done that my words aren’t matching up properly when I speak, which i’m doing as i’m writing this, the only thing that my brain is able to do is make me sing a song that I heard earlier today and is now stuck in my head, it’s a good song so i’m not too bothered about it!!
All The Love ❤ ❤

P.S.I want to share a doodle, before I post this, but I don’t have one now, well I do, but I kinda want to create a new one, so what I will do is, i’m going to post this and doodle away and then tomorrow I will update this post and share it with you guys once it’s done, either that or i’ll choose a random one I already have, but until then I shall leave this…..
Insert Doodle Here: Update I have now shared the doodle that I wanted, I had to outline it before I posted, still have decided on any colors yet, hopefully something pops up, if you guys have any suggestions go on and share them if you like, i’ll write a post on a few of my doodles so far once i’ve brighten them up with colors, hope you all are having a good day!! ^_^
Not all words are bullets, but majority can be……if we’re not careful, we learn that we can do a whole lot of damage with them. Sometimes we don’t really think about the way we say things and if we do, sometimes they can still come out in a way where we don’t realize just how much it can effect a person…..a lot of what we say sometimes we say it out of spite, why!?
Because we’re angry and upset, but just because we’re upset, it doesn’t mean we should throw knives at a person, however most people still do, with words you can say anything, but our words and how we say them will determine what the outcome turns out to be. If we say something in an attempt to hurt someone, well that doesn’t make us good people does it!?
We’re just doing it out of spitefulness and that’s not how things should be, we should learn how to say something without it coming across negatively, however sometimes we end up in a gray area, because we could use our words and use it with kindness or in a way that isn’t hurtful, but it may still end up still coming off that way, a lot of the time we don’t know how to say things without it coming off a certain way, some of us say things based off how we feel and also because we don’t know another way to say it.
We don’t think about the effects of it, until after everything is said and done, we say what we say within the moment and then later think about it, for some it can be the other way around, where they think first and say later and I gotta say when it comes to those people, we could learn a thing or two, but it’s not always like that, some people would rather it be said then and there and that’s fine, but at the same time, if we’re not careful in the way we say things, it’ll turn sour real quick and then we’ll find a very big mess at our hands, with words we don’t think they do much, but they do.
We can always go back and rethink how everything played out and then come back and re discuss it to clear out any miscommunication that might’ve been taking in, at the start of a conversation, doing that actually works, because if one party felt a certain way, we’d be able to sort it out to make sure that everything is set right and make things better, vice versa.
That being said though, sometimes you’ll find yourself in the middle of a war zone trying your hardest to dodge any minefields that are hidden beneath, if you’re lucky, sometimes you make it out alive, other times you have no choice, but to stand your ground and go to war……
However you don’t always have to, you can always choose when to pick your battles, it’s not always easy though when it comes to choosing them, sometimes we don’t know when the best time and when it’s not, I guess you kinda just gotta look out for it or just go in either way, but it doesn’t mean we have or need to charge through with every blow or explosion we hear.
When it comes to choosing, we either look out for it, charge through and if it’s a battle we don’t have to particularly take part in, if it came to a point where we have to step in and go to war (hoping it doesn’t over escalate) we should at least be mindful in what we say, but most importantly, we should always be careful when heading into the battlefield, the mission is to defuse not infuse…..once that’s mastered, we will all know how to heal each other.
All The Love ❤ ❤

Side Note:I thought i’d add one of my drawings to this post, why well I wanted to have some kind of cover for this post, last time I shared one of my doodles, I said that I would add the penciled part to it as well as pen, I have not decided on a color for it yet, so that’s why you’re seeing it like this, if you guys have any suggestions to what colors I should use, feel free to share it would really be helpful and i’d appreciate it as well, thank you!! ^_^
