Words, words, words / 10

Lately I've been finding myself feeling fairly unmotivated at times. Whether it be in regards to working out, making art, hand lettering (notice how I didn't post again last weekend?), posting on my blog at all, or what have you. Motivation is honestly something I've struggled with having for a large portion of my life. I'm not sure where it stems from, but a lot of the time I feel like I have to be "in the mood" to do something, even if it's something I enjoy (like making art). As a result, I can find myself sinking into a little ditch of unhappiness and it can eat away at my days sometimes.

Amongst all of these feelings, I really just need to remind myself to look for all of the little things that inspire me, that give me hope, that make me feel good. Little things that very often go unnoticed. Some people might even find it weird that I'd find them beautiful because they seem very mundane to the average person, but it's in these things that I truly find reason for living and for enjoying life. Mostly I just need to remind myself that it's okay to let myself be down sometimes, but I can't stay there, and if I want to be happy, I have to choose happiness.

"Words, words, words" is a weekly hand lettering column in which I share some goodies hand-lettered by me for your enjoyment! You can check out previous posts here!

Edit: Just want to let you know these are now both available in my society6 shop! You can find the first one here and the second one here.
