I honestly cannot function without music, but it also has to be through earbuds. Otherwise, I’ll be distracted listening to the vibration of the speakers or the sound of the damn refrigerator two rooms away. I remember talking to my therapist about how when I got my first mini-disc player, it was like a light switched on in my head. Suddenly, I could get stuff done! Whether it was homework, cleaning my room, or just getting ready in the mornings so I’d be on time. 

I’m sure my parents complained that I never stopped listening to music and always had headphones in. And I was always getting cheap headphones confiscated by teachers. I only had one teacher turn a blind eye to my music use. I suspect he knew I was some flavor of neurodivergent and didn’t care what I did to focus so long as I got my work done.

Yoko’s to-do list:

I did know, but it’s delightful to be reminded! It’s a very pretty and rare gem!

Also according to energymuse:

 The sulfur in the bumblebee jasper provides you with the confidence and inner power to push through your reservations, while also preventing any fear, worry or negative energy from entering your energy field. It gently “melts through” self-imposed barriers that may be preventing you from moving forward and making positive changes. The gray/black in the bumble bee jasper helps you to remain focused on transforming your life in whichever way you want. It encourages you to sort out things in your head, bringing clarity and allowing you to clarify your plan. The bumble bee jasper properties remind you to reach for the stars because the only limits are the ones you place upon yourself.

hello!! thank you for your message! It’s never too late to get into art so don’t let your age discourage you :>Look up tutorials online. Apps like Pinterest are great for references and such (only downside is a lot of the content isn’t sourced)! I recommend following the ones that explain the basic shapes of human anatomy to get started :)

Use a sketchbook. It doesn’t have to be an expensive one, but keep in mind that if you’re going to use wet media like paint or watercolors, you might want to buy the pricier ones. Sketchbooks are great for letting out ideas, practicing, or even finished pieces!

Don’t stress over you art style, it’ll come to you naturally by taking influence from other artists!

If you’re drawing digitally change the canvas color to gray as it causes less eye-strain.
