Late Nights

A couple of days ago, before I knew I was actually going to be offered two jobs simultaneously, things looked pretty bleak.  I had one of those existential nihilistic self-flagellating nights where I could only think of the negatives in my life and none of the positives.  The week before, my therapist had suggested I return to my roots when I needed a coping strategy - familiar music, perhaps a hobby I used to like.

So the good news is, I decided to haul out the Crayola 64-colour box and recreate the old pleasures of wax on paper, to find peace by reaching deep, deep down within myself and pulling.

The bad news is, a squid came out.  A strange one.

The moral of the story appears to be, “Beware of what is within.”

    All I gotta say is You should read “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. It will change the way you feel about yourself and your life (in a good way of course!!)

    Cute squid by the way. Maybe your drawing’s telling you that 1) I am cute 2) I like the colour purple 3) I want to go deep sea fishing 4) I need bigger shoes.

    Ok so I think the squid looks like another type of “one-eyed monster” and that your drawing is telling you something entirely not so innocent.

    Oh my God! I didn’t even think of that. I thought the drawing was telling me to go out for calamari!

    Sure … calamari and a one night stand.
