The break I needed so bad

It had been quite sometime, I was feeling too much stuck in the mundane of college life. Daily assignments, tests and no time for the self. I had reached a point where I found joy in nothing. Off-late, a strange kind of longing encapsulated me, no group of friends, no jokes, no social media drew my interest. I found myself just too busy the whole day, and in the end of the day, too tired to think beyond the stereotypical source of entertainment: social media....but then scrolling through these only left me feeling more dumb and bored. Then I finally decided...this was it. I needed a break. 

I couldn't keep saying myself that I don't have time. I just had to 'make' time for the right things. I at once realized that it is painting that I can find true solace in and what could put an end to this undefined longing in me. My phone was just a killer of time and only made me feel worse. I put my phone in flight-mode and found the break I was craving for in the blend of my acrylics and the strokes of my brush. 

This is what I did...nothing much, neither did it take much time...twenty minutes may be...but it washed off the weariness of mine, gathered over many-a hectic weeks....
