Minimal Illustrations

So, starting this year, I plan to sketch out all the ideas and thoughts that I have been sitting on since quite a while. I plan to combine two of my resolutions for this year with this short series of graphics-

1. Just Design whatever is bottled up in the mind
2. Lead a clean lifestyle

The very first of the series is something that I have been wanting to do since long.

Disconnect. From the world. From negative emotions. From dependence on social networking apps. From everything that weighs you down.

With so many cables around, it is necessary to untangle yourself before it's too late. Take a step away from technology, stop before you can't do without it.

So as a part of my New Year resolutions, I have included Self Healing. We go through so much- physically as well as mentally, that it is necessary to heal ourselves, from time to time. From getting in shape, meditating daily to even becoming better at emotions, it is imperative to nurse ourselves. Heal thy mind, heal thy soul.
L E G O ( LET GO)

Let go of those feelings for people who don't matter anymore. Let go of yourselves and live without fear. Let go of the things that hurt you (like a Lego piece, when you step on it).

When you fail, get up and retry. Try again with a positive outlook. Try again with a determination to succeed. Don't quit.

The amount of fucks I give to the people that don't matter anymore, the people who underestimate me, the people who want to poach my relationship, the people who aren't honest, the people who want to spread negativity. Sorry, but the fucks giving counter is closed.

Don't you sometimes feel that everything in your life is going South? Yeah, I have been feeling that since the past 3-4 weeks. Feeling that I have reached a low point in life. I am physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted, a minor depression period being set in since the past month.
But I am determined to get through this. Life is beautiful. You shouldn't fall down to your knees and cry over missed opportunities or fellow humans. It's not worth it. Chin up comrade, and face the world because as the SEALS say 'The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday'.

Spread love, spread happiness, spread positive vibes, spread the joy! Everyone needs a bit of love. The trees, the strays, the postman, the neighbor who you never talk to, your classmate who is just an acquaintance, the building watchman who opens the gate for you, everyone needs a bit of love. Give more than what you receive. Stop being consumed by the tiring life. Stop, take a breath, smile and make sure you pass on the good vibes. Like the Beatles say, 'All you need is love, love is all you need.' 
S U N S H I N E

Been a couple of weeks now that I am happy and back to a normal state after weeks of depression. Lucky enough that someone talked some sense into me and helped me climb out of the bottomless pit that I was in. That person showed me light in darkness, a hope for a brighter and better future. Haven't felt this good and happy in a long time. Guess I found my sunshine...
