Don’t Forget, You’re a Sunflower

It’s been a HOT minute since I had been able to design anything, and I’ve been having some motivation and mental health issues, so I made a little “inspirational” poster for myself/phone wallpaper. I’m pretty proud of it for not having been able to design ANYTHING in the last year or so. I’m hoping this will spark me to do more designing.

The design was made from a conversation I made revolving witchcraft and my way of doing it, whether it was ironic, odd, etc. in that conversation, I was able to correlate myself as a sunflower, how I am strong, kind/gentle, radiant, etc. always looking towards the sun when possible (deities in the witchcraft sense, positivity in a general sense) despite the challenges and “bad weather” I face in my life. To remind myself of this, I made this fun little graphic!

I hope things are shining bright for you today, despite the stressful atmosphere going on lately! 🌻

... Read moreIt’s amazing how a simple image can hold so much power and meaning, isn’t it? For me, the sunflower has become more than just a beautiful flower; it’s a profound symbol of resilience, positivity, and self-discovery. When I was going through a tough time, feeling like my creative spark had dimmed, I realized I needed a constant reminder of my own inner light. That's when the idea of a 'You're a Sunflower' message really clicked for me. Think about it: a sunflower always turns its face towards the sun, even on cloudy days, always seeking that source of warmth and energy. This perfectly represents the journey of staying optimistic and finding your own light, even when things get tough. Like the sun, we all have an inner source of strength and warmth. Remembering that we are inherently RADIANT, POWERFUL, KIND, WARM, STRONG, and capable of GROWTH can be incredibly uplifting. Just like the OCR text on my image, these words aren't just descriptors of a flower; they're attributes we can cultivate within ourselves. For anyone looking for that extra push, those 'don't forget who you are' or 'don't forget why you started' moments, a sunflower can be your anchor. It reminds us of our core identity and purpose. I love finding little ways to incorporate this symbolism into my daily life. Beyond a phone wallpaper, I’ve started collecting 'you are my sunflower quotes' to use as journaling prompts or even as captions for my Instagram posts. There's something so grounding about reading a simple 'sunflower message' that instantly brings a smile to my face. If you're like me and find solace and motivation in these vibrant blooms, why not explore them further? You could try a 'simple sunflower easy drawing' to express your feelings, or even just search for 'sunflower field' photography to immerse yourself in their beauty. There are so many 'sunflower quotes wallpaper' options out there, or you can even create your own, like I did! Whether it’s a digital design or a handwritten note, the act of creating something that resonates with you can be incredibly therapeutic. It's not just about the aesthetic; it's about connecting with that deeper meaning, that 'theory of sunflower' that tells us to stand tall, look towards the light, and embrace our own unique radiance. So, next time you need a boost, remember: you're a sunflower, always reaching for the sun!
