I believe, our eyesight helps us to create and keep the memories. The more details we put into them, the more vivid our memories remain. My three-year-old sons fear is "when all the days pass, I will remember nothing". He's a bit of a philosopher.

He came to me today (22.3.2021) with tears in his eyes that he wanted to remember everything. I took the diary that I wrote the first year of his life. It is an ordinary notebook. And it's not for him, it's for me. It is very detailed. To remember every moment of my pregnancy, fears, troubles and beautiful moments... 36-hour giving birth... How it felt to hold him in my arm for the first time after section. And second time and... Kissing his soft lips milion times... How I felt a days, weeks, months after giving birth... My ups and downs...

I read him a few sentences. The diary is full of photos, pictures, stickers and drawings. It has a large part of our lives in it. So we don't forget...

I believe an image goes well with the written word, to keep the memories. Photography, sticker, drawing.

I believe that it motivates us to organize time when we have our notes "decorated". So that we don't forget, to encourage ourselves, to remember ... so that our eyes are given a stimulus that we remember more easily than a word.

Life can be hard, if you want. Life can be fun, if you want. Life is beautiful one way or another. My life is a little roller coaster with some really big ups and downs... Now I am somewhere in the middle and that is fine, becasue on the bottoms I don't want to live, and the tops are like cherry on the top of the cake. Be a single mum is hard, but be a mum of great kid is the best, so I am the winner.

I draw with love and I love kids, organization of my time and selflove. So my drawings and SVGs are inspired mainly by childhood and that perspective how to see the ordinary world through the eyes of children.
Keep your memories.

PS: I don't know how to save the world, but I know how to help save the world. By supporting organizations that know what is needed and are dedicated to it. By purchasing from my shop, you will support organization that save the world. I choose one every year and donate 10% of my income.

With love yw
the ordinary diary
