Tracing my emotions: the healing power of drawing

I choose to draw because it saves me. When words fail and my emotions become too tangled to explain, I turn to the page. The moment my pencil touches paper, my thoughts begin to quiet. Drawing is how I translate chaos into color, confusion into line, and silence into meaning. I don't draw to impress anyone. I draw because it helps me breathe. Each sketch is a small act of survival, a conversation between my feelings and my hands. Some people write in journals or run to release their emotions-I draw. Through every stroke, I remind myself that feelings are not something to escape from but something to understand.
