Back after a break!

I have been MIA from lemon8.

Truth be told I have been a little lost and inactive on all social media. I thought the spring would help me be more active but that’s not the reality lately. I am going through a lot of decision making and turmoil and learning that being active or on a timeline takes a lot of discipline.

Anyways more on that later I’ll sure share a step by step tutorial soon #Lemon8Diary #artchallenges #arttutorial

2024/5/19 Edited to

Taking a break from social media can be a transformative experience. Many users find that stepping back enables them to reflect on their priorities and engage more meaningfully with their passions. This hiatus can lead to personal growth and the opportunity to explore creative outlets like art challenges. To make the most of this time, consider setting achievable goals for social media activity and focusing on cultivating real-world connections. For those interested, participating in art challenges and tutorials can reignite creativity while building community. Engage with hashtags such as #Lemon8Diary, #artchallenges, and #arttutorial to explore exciting new ideas and share your progress. Remember, taking a break doesn’t have to be a setback; it can be a pivotal moment for personal and artistic development.

gorgeous little painting! ❤️I can definitely relate. I've been trying to be more active on here lately but it's hard to remain consistent. it's best to just do what you can when you can, otherwise it would take the fun out of it. Maybe aim to post only once a week? or once every 2 weeks?
