Hello, dearest reader.

I was feeling rather dejected. After wallowing in sadness for a bit, I decided to do something about it, so I placed myself at my desk and took out some brushes, paint and a sheet of paper and, without putting any thought into it whatsoever, began painting.

To be perfectly honest, the first three attempts did not turn out well because I accidentally dropped yellow paint over the first one and somehow managed to ruin the other two as well. However, that didn't upset me. I was absolutely unperturbed by that. In fact, I took it as an opportunity to doodle to my heart's content.

I started afresh and finally painted this and when I was almost done and I looked at it, I wondered how could something so beautiful come out of me even when I was so sad? The sight of it improved my spirits. 

Thank you for reading.
