“These precious moments with you are priceless.” This beautiful ethereal illustration is a reminder. It's telling you that everything you need is inside of yourself. Remember you are enough even when life seems lonely.
I drew this cute female portrait first. Then a hummingbird and a lilly flower botany illustration. I sketched each one with a 2B Technical Pencil on a small sketch pad. I then redrew a new composition combining all three.
Once I had a simple composition, I smashed the final illustration into Procreate. After I cleaned the sketch, I went over the lines, and fixed the illustration. Finally, I coloured the image with custom brushes.

MY STORY
YOU ARE ENOUGH. EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS INSIDE.
Dear Friend.
If you’re feeling lonely right now, take a moment to rest your attention on your heart. Breathe. Remember, that everything you think you can get from others is within you. There is no need to look outside yourself to feel complete.
You are magic, you are whole, you are enough. Never forget that.
Forget what others say. Believe in yourself, for yourself. That's enough.
Fill the void of loneliness with self-love. The simple serenity that bubbles up when you rest.
Rest your body, mind, and spirit, and allow that peace to flow.
That’s what I felt when making this purple, blue, and orange fantasy art print.
Today, I'll tell you all about how I freed myself from loneliness for good. So read the whole letter.
GIVE ME 8 MINUTES AND I'LL TEACH YOU TO BE FEARLESS
Discover how I beat anxiety, overcame depression, and calmed my anger, all while surviving in the wilderness.
I FREED MYSELF FROM LONELINESS FOR GOOD.
BUT IT WASN'T BY SPENDING MORE TIME WITH PEOPLE.
I always get reminded of the irony of loneliness now.
I grew up a single child. Part of me desperately wanted siblings. Back then, I gathered as many animals around me as possible. I was always seeking connection. Eventually I had a small zoo.
That wonder when what (or whom) you look at looks back at you. Obvious connection. It's electric.
In many ways, that childhood loneliness forced my social skills to develop faster. I'd find ways to bring all my friends home after school.
It was normal for 3-4 other kids to come back with me more than twice a week.
I lived far from society in a tiny village. My parents had taken out a second mortgage to save an ancient woodland from developers.
That small forest is where I live now. It’s where I grew up, and how I came to know myself.
In the beginning, it was lonely. My childlike naivety assumed more people equated to more love.
Hence the social persuasion to bring everyone I could back to meet my animal friends. I had to convince my parents every time. But that was easy.
Love, to me, is important. However, my experience of love is vastly different now.
That difference is what saved me from loneliness, and what sustains me through thick and thin. It's the one thing I rely on. It's there when no one else is.
I HATED SCHOOL.
It felt like a constant barrage aimed at breaking my spirit. College and university, although significantly more chill, felt the same.
I left disenchanted. Loneliness remained. In that wild place, I thought all I needed was to find the right people. Then I’d feel better, I’d feel complete.
By chance, I ended up exposed to ancient teachings. Written by warriors of the mind. It taught me to look inwards and asked me to feel what I might find.
Those profound teachers showed me the hidden gateways within.
The greatest lessons are the ones that come from experience. Nobody else can do much more than show you doorways.
The gentle whisper of the wind is more fertile than the sharp bang of a falling tree.
THE MOMENT THAT DISSOLVED MY LONELINESS FOREVER.
I lost loneliness the moment I learned how to generate love within myself. The lack of connection dissolved, collapsed, and to this day, hasn’t come back.
At some point, I saw that you can be in a room full of people, and still feel utterly lost. I also found that the good vibes I felt with others all came from inside.
This breakthrough gave me something to practice. The art of mastering loneliness was simple.
1) Stop thinking.
2) Rest your mind.
3) Focus on your heart.
4) Feel that perfect love.
The best part was I could practice where ever I stood, sat, or lay. No one else knew, but I knew, and I felt complete.
That completeness outshone any idea of loneliness. It also gave me a sense of carefree detachment. A detachment that destroys any need for anyone else.
AND HERE'S THE IRONIC PART.
The less lonely I felt, the less I needed others to feel happy, and the more others wanted to be around me.
I was 25 when that fully hit me. Then everything switched. Instead of seeking others, I had many people thirsting for my attention.
Now, 15 years later, I never feel lonely. I do have a new problem of wanting more time alone and fewer people bothering me.
There is no loneliness left for me, and I spend a lot of time alone in the forest. I still have many animals around me, that hasn't changed.
I ruthlessly guard my time and energy. Ironically, this makes people want it more and more. And of course, there is always a small amount of time I enjoy sharing with others.
KEY TAKEAWAY & CONCLUSION
- Loneliness is the misconception that we are not complete without others.
- Everything you feel with other people is generated within you.
- You learn those emotional responses based on how you perceive yourself and others.
- Those perceptions come from the stories will tell ourselves.
- To free yourself from loneliness, first, break the story.
- Pause your mind, and rest your attention on your heart.
- Use willpower to generate a sense of love, completeness, and serenity.
