Tranquility amidst Chaos!

August 13, 2018 9:51am CST
This is something I painted when I was going through hard times in my life. I had panic attacks and anxiety disorders to deal with. I was on the edge of seeing shrinks and to pop sleeping pills. However, I decided to paint my pain and it worked magic for me. It gave me a sense of calmness and serenity. Finally I found peace and tranquility amidst chaos. What do you do when you feel restless and uneasy?

Ahh! Beading is such an interesting thing to do. My sister is a Fashion Designer and she loves to work with beads and pearls. I am sorry that you can't continue the same due to your health.

Wow Rishika that's great. You are so talented and that's a wonderful way to calm down oneself. Painting and drawing helps to cool down and free your mind. I usually listen to music or writes poems. I too went trough lot of hard times but the determination to overcome all all the setbacks and take recourse to music and writing made me a new person and I forget all the pain.
