This year, I am going to paint more. My last night home could not have been spent any better than it was. After moping about my plans to get together with a big group of friends to have one last hooray fell through, I immediately perked up when one of my favorite people in the world, my good friend Elizabeth, texted me asking me to come over and paint with her. I have an abandoned art studio in my room that depresses and inspires me every time I look at it. I used to paint pretty frequently but I slowly stopped doing it and for the longest time I have been trying to get myself to pick it up again. There is no better feeling in the world than sitting in front of a canvas with music playing and a paintbrush in your hand. How could you not be happy when you're surrounded by every color under the rainbow? Elizabeth and I sat and painted, laughed and talked until 2 in the morning. It was such a genuine moment and I was so happy. Elizabeth said that a good friend of hers told her that painting is good for the soul. I couldn't agree more.
