The elephant in the room

For the longest time I had a hard time comprehending how people manage to translate their feelings into art. It was something I longed to do but for some reason, I always felt so disconnected from my drawings. It may be because I was mostly blindly following the drawing prompts I found online, treating my drawing more of a way to focus on something when I don’t want to think than an expression of my thoughts. Until this.

Oddly enough, this drawing started as some squiggles and lines while I was in a webinar, and my attention was divided between listening to the speakers and pacifying my thoughts, having accidentally overheard an intimate conversation that I knew I wasn’t supposed to hear.
