By: Kalka ~ View Artworks Artist's Comments: It's fascinating to see this. It was a small seed and somehow it managed to get deep enough to grow under dead leaves and humus. It's so thin and frail and the pine cone sitting near it makes me think about the whole process of growing up. Maybe one day it will be a tree that is over 100 years old. I can't deny that I felt a bit like a mirror of my current situation. I was greedy and wanted to be popular, earning money and everything. Then in 2021 I deleted everything. In 2023 I had received my doll Paprika since a handful of months and I decided to make something new, something better. The dead leaves and humus are the rest of my previous life and it helped my current self to grow. It's still young and frail but it's full of possibilities, it can grow much bigger and stronger. I can be better than I was before so I need to take care of it while letting it grow to its potential. (sorry for the stupid philosophy, but this picture is really important to me...) |

This is why I think we should all spend some time outside occasionally. Quote from: haumeaGeth I found this picture and your description really soothing... I could easily make a connection to my own life, too, pushing past a state of survival into one of actually living. Thank you for sharing this <3 Thanks a lot to both of you ! I'm glad you liked it ! Going outside is pretty important, when I feel bad or worried over a nrmal level, I often take strolls in forests and it's super helpful to calm down. I try to take the less crowded areas because I've stumbled upon too many people blasting music at big volume or just being very loud. Over the years I made a lot of discoveries. I feel lucky to leave near this kind of land, it's so pretty ! It's important to take steps back with ourselves and look how far we've made it. We're often focused of the goal that we sometimes forget how long/difficult it was. It helps to get the spirits up and keep focusing on the goal again. We can be really amazing as a species and it deserves to be recognized ! I wish both of you an excellent day ! Your comments means a lot to me ![]() |
