Looking at New Opportunities

We’ve been going through some changes in our household that are all good, and are bringing about the opportunity for creative exploration in my art journal. We moved in another troubled teen last night and, I’m hoping to bring some positive artistic influences into their life as best as I can. I believe art is an excellent outlet for expressing anger, fear, resentment, confusion, and all the other emotions a teenager typically experiences when going through difficult times.

It’s going to be a long weekend (moving things, rearranging things, and making room), so I’m not sure if I’ll have the time for art or not. I might squeeze it in during breaks! That way, I don’t go completely crazy with how obsessive I tend to be about organization and cleaning. I don’t mean to be . . . it’s just how I’m made! During those opportunities, I’ll see if they’re interested in seeing what I’m doing and why I love to do it so much. Little by little, an interest may be cultivated.
