Coloring

I've been coloring a lot lately. Leis. Hibiscus flowers. Pineapples. Block letters. All for my floor decorations, so that I don't have to stay up late during RA training week to get them all done.

Coloring is so simple, so calming. It helps me relieve the building stress and pressure of getting a room clean and moved to a room downstairs, preferably by the end of this coming weekend. It also preemptively lowers the impending stress of packing up and moving back to school. It keeps me from snapping.

It also makes me yearn for my childhood again. I find myself yearning for the days when drama was considered someone taking the crayon I wanted to use...the days when I didn't have to worry about the things I worry about now.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some more coloring to get to.
