Why?

Why do I do this to myself?

For years, my daughter and I have had memberships to Six Flags. It’s a little over an hour away, and the type of membership we have, it costs us nothing to go. We have free parking, two meals and snacks, unlimited drinks, bring a friend passes, and more. This year, we haven’t gone once. Considering the year is almost over, I promised her that we could go today and she could bring one of her best friends.

When we go, my daughter and whatever friend she’s brought will run off, leaving me to do circle laps around the park all by my onesie. It’s fine, I’m used to it. There’s also animals that I can look at, and I’m not big on a lot of rides. Today, I brought some art supplies to keep me busy.

After a lap, I settled down at one of the table areas that are less populated, and began to paint. I brought both watercolor and acrylic pens. I stuck with dark and dreary colors and it eventually morphed into this. I poured water from the top and shook it out to get this almost sheets of rain look.

This is what the inside of my head looks like right now.
