When was the last time you got some time for yourself dedicating it to a hobby you love? We often end ourselves in busy on-going routines and work schedules which eventually make us tired and at the end of the day, we hardly wish to even do something like meet a friend or at least spare some self time. Sometimes I wonder how we do all the work and grow our-self to the best success to reach but in this, we cannot spare some energy or time for ourselves.
I recently had a harsh time in my personal life and came across many things that made my heart cry out, but this made me realize that I need to stop myself from hurting. What we do is to make our mind more to the things that make us hurt rather than diverting it to somewhere else. This makes nothing progressive but just a lot of anxiety, overthinking, breathlessness, and yes continuously thinking the same cycle again and again. It takes me a lot of calmness which did not happen in one go because at times it is very tough to get out of bed and do any basic routine, I came across a new hobby that captured my attention and diverted my mind, and let me stay away from my phone. I started to make wall pieces. Now randomly, I came across a wall art over Instagram and thought to re-create it.
So basically this is a traditional Indian art, which is known as “Lippan Art” and it is made up of clay and mirrors which may be colorful or plain white or black or whatever you like. So firstly I grabbed cardboard, drew some designs I liked on it got some clay, made a nice border colored it, and, then stuck some nice mirror pieces on it. And it is damn beautiful like my parents are also wondering about this talent. Then after some days the cycle came back I got off and decided to make another one and yes that also turned out to be very beautiful and hung that in my bedroom.
Yes, it does remind me of the things that I thought during the making of the piece but I guess it was necessary otherwise, even I also won’t get to know that I am capable of doing this. I guess every harsh time teaches us something and makes us discover something that stays in us. This heals me, I hope I make more of them with a happy heart. What you do when you are low or figure this out is indeed an achievement. By- Hinal ❤️
