A couple of my first original drawings (not taught in @eckyo.me’s class)! I thought of this because of a typo I made in an email — though I’m sure I’m not the first — and thought it would be cute to illustrate in #procreate.

Last year, I started purging with the #KonMari Method just like I did in 2017. This time, nothing sparked joy when I held it, and everything somehow ended up in the donation bin — even things that I’d previously cherished. Naturally, as we grow and change, what sparks joy for us will also change, but, well, I panicked a little. Link in bio for how I decluttered when the KonMari Method didn't work.
