Day 13. When you are stressed, what can you use as an outlet?

When I'm stressed out, I know two things that will always calm me down.
One of them is Art.
Art has always been my sanctuary. When ever I'm drawing, I feel so calm and relaxed, no free. I'm not sure why but I have always loved art. When I was little, I would spend hours at the kitchen table playing with modeling clay. I would make different people and horses out of this clay and act out scenes. I made a house out of an empty clementine container, complete with carpets, furniture, and blankets. To be honest, they weren't very good but to be fair, I was only 6-7 years old. Soon after my focus shifted to drawing, first using a "Learn to Draw Animals" book. My skills slowly progressed, getting better with each drawing. Now I think that I am a fairly skilled artist, even though I am far from amazing. I find comfort in being able to control what happens in my drawings. It's like I'm making up for not being able to control my life. I know that art will always be there for me and I find great comfort in that.
