How painting can heal you.

During these tough times in which we haven't been free to live our lives to the fullest, where our plans have been postponed, our routine has completely changed and we weren't able to travel, to go to concerts, to the theatre, to meet our family, to go out for a pizza or to go to a mall with our friends, it's only when your routine changes and you are alone with yourself that you start thinking about what to do during your free time!

Creativity in every form can allow you to keep your mind strong and to tackle a stressful time, as the Covid pandemic has been!

Being creative, is the perfect way to escape from the news, the numbers of CoVid patients that the TV fills us all up every single day.

It's free, it's healing and it saves you without knowing!

You don't need to go out of your house, but still, you can create landscapes, existent natural places, or magical scenarios only evading with your brain. Put on some music and let the creativity that is in you inspire you and lead you to a peaceful mindset.

Creativity can save you,

creativity can bring joy to your grey afternoons,

Creativity can make you happy,

Creativity is the best way to fill up your daily routine!

Are you creative? Do you have a hobby? Sure you do! You all have a creative soul, you just need to explore it! Dance, sing, write or paint, each of these hobbies can bring you happiness without being aware of it.

This last year has been kind of tough for everyone, all over the world. While we were in a lockdown, I spent my afternoons with a canvas and some brushes in my hands, and my day got brightened!

I have been painting for ten years now, but I've never realized how painting can really heal you, can relax you, can relieve you, can change your humor!

Painting allows you to calm your inner peace, to let go of all the problems during the day, to drive away negative thoughts. You need some inspiration to create something beautiful, a landscape, a portrait, a still life, an abstract image...it motivates you, it brings you joy!

Even if you are a beginner, it doesn't matter! Get started! There's no right or wrong in panting, whatever it is it expresses your feelings and gives emotions to the viewer.

Get a canvas, a drawing sheet, and some brushes with colors, and start painting! You won't know how creativity can heal your soul, relax your mind, and can change your life!

"Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life."

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
