For the MOC 9 (2021) January 02 - Why I scrap (journaling) challenge

journaling
(with a little help from google, thank you google)
Why I scrap?
I scrap because it makes me happy.
I scrap because I love it.
I scrap because I can't do without it.
I scrap because I need to.
I scrap for myself.
I scrap for the ones I love.
I scrap because what you see in my pages it's what I am.
I scrap because I have to express what/how I feel.
I scrap because... oh, if you could only see what's inside my head!
I scrap because it's my little corner of the world.
I scrap because I love colors and I don't know a more fun way to use them all.
I scrap because it is the form of creativity that suits me best.
I scrap because that time I almost quit.
I scrap because every time I start a new page I start a journey.
I scrap because I am obsessed with images, colors, shapes.
I scrap because when at a certain point, out of fear or who knows, I thought it would be better to do something else, I became an unhappy person.
I scrap because when I later remembered that I was an artist, that unhappiness dissolved.
I scrap because yes! I think what I create is (some kind of) art.
I scrap because once, as a child, I spent an entire afternoon looking for the color that lies between the fog and cyclamen.
I scrap because it is a wonderful way of narrating.
I scrap because I like my family, faces, fairy tales, suspended atmospheres, dream places, seasons, the sea, the sky, the moon and the stars .
I scrap because it takes me back to my childhood rooms every time.
I scrap because I can access another world.
I scrap because I want to inspire.
I scrap because sometimes it is a ship that passes far away, a secret wood, a small group of houses, a flower.
I scrap because it's therapeutic.
I scrap because sometimes it takes a lot of time, sometimes time flies.
I scrap because I would like to live in one of my pages.
I scrap because maybe one day I will print my pages.
I scrap for all these reasons.
And for many others.
I scrap because it makes me happy.
