- Hi everyone! Welcome to my second video! I was having a bit of a blue moment this morning whilst walking the dogs, wondering when I'd be happy, and had to give myself a little pep talk. So, I thought I'd share some of my thoughts with you.
I hope you like!
I mention Blacksummer Colouring in this video as well: go check out her channel at / blacksummercolouring

Loving this channel already! Can't wait to see where you take it in the future! Also...
+Poodlepaws44 I know! Isn't he adorable! Marvin the Unicorn! I'm in love. 😍
AND I can draw him too so I'll be able to switch it up as I go on and have different Marvins for different occasions! I'm so excited! 😄🦄
I totally do this haha! I have so many dreams/goals that once achieved, I think I'll feel like a million bucks or at my happiest. After I've thought of my goals, I then plan a strategy to achieve them. But I also try to remember to be happy in the present while I work towards my goals. They say it's the journey that's most important, not the destination, right? 😜
Sasha Fitzgerald So true! I actually have a picture with the words "success is a journey, not a destination" as my desktop background to remind myself.
I think we all put this pressure on ourselves, especially when we're so passionate about our creativity, and it can just get too overwhelming sometimes. Glad you can focus on enjoying the present. I'll replay this video to myself in a few weeks when I forget again! lol 😁🦄
You put this SO well! Yes! I do this all the time. The pressure I put on myself to becone this ever changing, unobtainable version of myself is incredible!
I am grateful for my family, my little dog, and my ability to draw
+Dory's Stories Yay! (And oh BOY can you draw!!!)
I had to cut out so much waffle lol! I'm glad I did. I watch that video when I'm feeling down haha! How vain is that??? But I make myself smile so it's like a free pick me up when Claire's not around! Hee hee 😄🦄
+Dory's Stories Aaw! See, I think of you as a successful and accomplished creator! You're what I'm aiming for lol! I honestly think you're absolutely fantastic! 😙🦄
I'm all for starting the support group! I know I need it! :D Awesome video, I really like your channel! ^_^
+H.I.T. ART Thank you! I need one too! I'm glad you like the video. I love love LOVE your channel too and your artwork, especially the bird warrior woman. She's fabulous. 😁🦄
It's definitely something I have that's an issue..I tend to live in the future a lot more than I should, rather than appreciating what's going on now.
+xingcat Easily done! There's a fine line between planning for the future and missing out on all the great things the present can offer 😄🦄
Another great video!
I'm so guilty for doing this i always put loads of pressure on myself. The hardest time was when i'd just had my daughter and i felt so guilty for not doing any artwork or posting youtube videos but when i was drawing when she was sleeping i felt guilty because the mum side of me just wanted to watch her sleep (i know creepy mum thing).
I've only ever had 2 goals in life one to be a successful artist and one to be a mother and i always get myself down because i felt like i have to sacrifice one for the other :( i'm starting to change that mindset now and i'm so happy that i have my daughter. I will definitely be taking on your advice and try making notes of things i'm grateful for every day!
Hetty's Art Aaaw! Not creepy at all! Claire and I joke that she'll have to tell me off for waking the baby up (when we have one... or ten haha) with my staring and cute noises. lol 😁
I feel like I do the same thing, where I think I have to sacrifice one part of me for another... I think I'll talk about that at some point as well...
You've certainly got a good balance now. You're a cracking artist with great content and I remember seeing a photo of a little girl on your phone screen when you did the 10 min to 10 sec challenge; assuming she's your daughter she's so cute! 💕🦄
Project Unicorn yeah that's my little Leia she's growing so fast 😂 it's much easier now she's in a routine but those first few months are definitely hard you and Claire would be amazing parents! (babies sleep through pretty much anything so you can make as many cute noises as you'd like 😉 )
Im the same, recently I've just been absolutely terrified of dieing befor I get whatever it is I'm ment to do done xD trouble is in not quite sure what that somthing is
Illustration With Eveii Aaaw! Listen, you're amazing as you are and every new success that you have in your future is another step forwards perfection.
When I think about my purpose, I go for what I feel very strongly about. If I had to rate writing my book on a scale of 1 to 10 it'd be 10. I wouldn't be me without it. And now youtube is a 9 because it incorporates social chatterbox me with the opportunity to help people... That's another 10 for me.
What are your 8s and 9s? What makes your heart jump and makes you feel excited? That's what your meant to do. (Personally I think you should keep being an artist so I can keep seeing your amazing artwork... but hey, that's just me!) 😁🦄
XD probably one of the nicest responses ive ever got here on youtube! Yes Arts a big passion of mine, I hope to one day write and illustrate a children's book
