YUI, from K-On!
Technology sure is a wonder.
+1 for iPhone and their different photo apps!
Hello! シ
Recently picked up the habit
of drawing again.
It always helps to calm my nerves.
I remember being in school,
and I would just draw and draw and draw away..
It helped with whatever pressures,
you would expect a teenager to face.
I remember a story.
[Not quoted because it was from so long ago]
[But more or less]
[Found it in an email, forwarded from a friend]
There was a dying old woman,
and her husband was by her bedside,
holding her hands and she said..
"Darling,
we have been together for a long time now,
and I am dying.
All these years,
through the ups and downs,
we fight, we laugh, we cry,
and I want to tell you how grateful I am.
But before all that,
I want to show you something.
It's a secret I have not shown anyone,
not even you.
Pick up that box over there.."
*husband picks it up and brings it to bedside*
"Open it."
*he opens it,
and sees a stack of dollar bills and one unfinished doll*
"What is this, dear?" he says.
"The doll represents a time when you made me angry.
When I am angry, I make a doll, instead of saying anything.
I want you to have it, to remember me.
I'm sorry it's not finished..."
The old man was touched.
Over 50 years of marriage,
and she had only been mad at him just once.
A tear started forming in his eye.
"..What about the bills, honey?
Where are they from?" he says, still extremely touched.
"Well..
The stack of bills is from the sale of the dolls.
Every single time you made me angry,
I would make a doll,
and then I would sell it."
PWNED.
So yeah, it's something like that.
And I know many of y'all,
have your own special ways of de-stressing.
Feel free to tell me what you do when you're stressed out,
or even show me pictures you've drawn,
if you do it like I do! シ
Have a great week,
and wrap yourself up,
if you're feeling cold!
P.S Yui only has a smile because
of an accidental smudge. HA! Now you know. シ
