Nature documentaries love to show us these stunning, perfectly lit close-ups of pristine lilies opening up in the morning sun while a flawless butterfly lands gracefully on a leaf. It looks so serene, so effortless, and so completely organized. But they completely skip over the part where the soil is full of dirt and bugs, the weather is wildly unpredictable, and the plant had to fight through actual mud just to show up.
That is pretty much the exact blueprint for human life. We want to be the beautiful, elegant blossom or the majestic butterfly, but most days we just feel like we are stuck in the mud, trying to untangle our thoughts from a giant web of daily stress and anxiety. And honestly, why do we think we want to be like others anyway? In reality, we don't even like trying to be like everyone else, yet for some reason, we feel compelled to fit in... IDK.
But if you are currently feeling buried by your own to-do list, your overactive brain, or just the general chaos of being a human, this page is your reminder that you don't have to be perfectly polished to grow. It is entirely okay to be a little messy while you figure out how to sprout your wings.
Like my writing! It’s messy. It has run-on sentences, it drones on and on, it has the wrong punctuation, and words are spelled wrong by a crazy dyslexic who was literally told by a group of teachers in the 3rd grade that they would "never even be smart enough to understand poetry." I'm not a professional writer, and I'm honestly 100% okay with that. But I do love putting this out into the world for those of you who are even somewhat like me, so you can have a place to escape. Even if you just read all of this just to laugh at me, I’m doing exactly what I set out to do.
This design features a sprawling, detailed lily wrapped around a beautifully intricate butterfly, specifically created to act as a quiet sanctuary for your nervous system. Pull out your favorite smooth gel pens, fine-tip markers, or colored pencils, and let yourself get completely lost in the petals and patterns. Take a deep breath, leave the real world on pause for a little while, and just focus on one color at a time.
