I want this to be a safe place to create, share, and show up honestly, especially on the days when things feel heavy or anxious. This free space is meant to be really low pressure. A place to slow down, try things out, and get a feel for art journaling without worrying about how anything looks. It’s about the process, not the result. So many of us carry the pressure to “make it look good,” and that can take the joy right out of creating. Please ease into your art in a way that feels supportive. Skills and techniques can come later, if and when you want them. There’s no expectation to finish pages, share your work, or follow prompts. Sometimes creating is just about sitting with a feeling for a few minutes and letting the marks speak for you. I’ve been there too. There were times when art journaling was one of the only ways I could release.. That’s a big reason this space exists. You’re always welcome to share here if you need support and it’s just as okay to read along quietly. This is meant to be a gentle, respectful place where understanding comes first.
