Description hIIII im so sorry for the unannounced little hiatus!! 
i haven't been art blocked, but i've felt a certain block from talking/posting online, even with close friends, like my brain just decided i gotta take a break whether i wanted to or not gflkLMFDG
i'm still not sure if im entirely out of it yet but its getting there~ 

whenever spring comes and approaches summer, i always get a little sad, because summer was so exciting as a kid, but not anymore
it was always so magical and has so many memories and tastes and sounds and smells to it that i havent experienced since
bare feet and shorts and big t-shirts, icy cold water from the hose on your feet, cheap plastic inflatable pools on the grass, homemade snowcones, catching grasshoppers and pillbugs and bumblebees in the backyard, colored chalk on the sidewalk and the chalk dust covering your hands, jumping on trampolines and riding bikes up the street, stepping out of the heat into an air conditioned house, giant bowls of watermelon and cantaloupe, hula hoops full of beads, the lazy afternoons where all the windows are open and a warm breeze fills the house, the hum of fans in every room, when the afternoon wanes into cool evening and summer night games start, crickets chirping, glowstick bracelets and games of capture the flag, ghost in the graveyard, hide and seek, eating lemon popsicles on the porch and playing truth or dare 
i miss experiencing all these things, since spring and summer breaks are so dull and meaningless as of late,, and with turning 18 recently, i want childhood baCK

but today i woke up remembering the classic quote "dont be sad because its over, be glad because it happened"
and i gotta say, this simple change in attitude has already helped me feel a whole lot better ❤ 
and somehow, all those emotions resulted in this drawing, and i had a blast drawing it aaAAAA <3

happy (late) first day of spring! 💮

aaagh why did you have to make me feel things with this

I used to love summer so much as a kid as well, and ever since last year it's just felt like all the magic is gone, kinda? Summer nights used to be my favorite especially, when you'd get to catch fireflies, most of the heat from the day mellowed out into a gentle breeze, and crickets chirped until it drove you insane, lol. And I miss spending it with my family too. Now everything for me has changed since I've gotten older. I miss it so much sometimes that it makes me feel like there's no point to the future, but that's obviously not a healthy mindset. I still am looking forward to the future, but it's hard to when everything I used to enjoy so much is behind me. (I still do enjoy things but it's not the same, if you know what I mean.)

Sorry for the long rant, haha. I got a little carried away. You just kind of reminded me of some things I've been going through, and I tend to keep my emotions in a lot. But thank you for sharing this, I think I sort of needed someone to talk to, heh. x)

On a lighter note, this drawing itself is really beautiful! And I hope spring stays for good, 'cause as much I love snow it just needs to go away now, lol!

very late reply but ahhhh this comment touched me so much!!
i just relate so much to that, like you said, it's not the same and it's a really bittersweet feeling,, it takes some effort to focus on the present but i think it's worth remembering there's so many future good memories to be made
