Here’s My 29 Drawings That Will Hopefully Inspire You To Look On The Bright Side Of Life
I've been an educator for most of my life, starting as a volunteer math teacher in Africa many years ago, then a human rights educator working primarily in Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and Asia. For the past 11 years, I've been an independent consultant and supported governments and international organizations in promoting human rights education and diversity & inclusion, as well as facilitated workshops to train other facilitators.
When I was 10, I came across a trove of drawings and paintings my father created when he was younger, and these inspired me to explore my own creative talents. He passed away when I was much younger, so I examined his work and became a self-taught artist.
I created an introspective character several years ago who quietly contemplated signs he would see—some obvious, others less so—that encouraged him to look on the bright side of life.
I've drawn him occasionally over the years, but since the start of 2022, I've had my beloved character face new signs and situations every day, and hopefully, I can continue creating a drawing a day as long as he inspires me (and hopefully others).

So they can tell you to suck it up, or laugh at you, or get tired of hearing about it?

The older I get, the more I realize that it doesn't have to be some big occasion or event... just coffee with friends in the morning, or a game night with family, or a typical weekday dinner are the moments I cherish above all others. The trips and holidays and events are all great, but they're nothing compared to normal days.

It is very fragile, and we have no backup. I worry about what our children's children will say about the way we've treated the world... if we survive that long.

Even if it's just your neighborhood, or your thoughts. You can travel the world using books and imagination.

:-) Smiling feels good! So does seeing that yellow balloon! Yellow is my favourite colour, too!

I agree with this one. There will always be something that needs doing somewhere.

These are super sweet. The comments under most of the pictures make me sad though 😔 guys, you don't have to argue a positive message or bash it down. I'm sorry if life feels that bleak, I really am.
