Hello, I’m ART!

Hello, I'm Alena! I am a 25-year-old navigating through life always looking for the silver lining. On any given day you can find me binge-watching The Office, painting, getting on a flight, dancing alone in the kitchen, trying new restaurants or taking a nap. ART Undone is all about finding beauty in this journey we call life. I hope this blog motivates you, makes you laugh, gives you life or even helps you procrastinate every once in a while. Thanks for taking the time to glance into my studio as I paint my masterpiece!

We made it! No matter your work or school schedule, everyone can celebrate a Friday. I know I can, especially after this week. My accomplishments for this week? Just making it AND I even made my bed :-) lol. Everyone, please have a safe and relaxing weekend. If you are being affected by the hurricane, I'm praying/sending positive vibes your way! #ARTUndone . . . #Blogger #Instablog #Blog #instablogger #thinking #Writer #Writing #Motivation #growth #selflove #selfimprovement #Instagram #girlboss #Blackgirlswhoblog #Thoughts #Lifestyleblogger #Lifelessons #happiness #happy #Smile #freedom #love #Celebration #Celebrate

Truth: I haven't combed my hair this week. I haven't done much this week but just try to make it through this week. I pride myself on never being bored and always finding a way to be productive, however, currently life has me sitting on the sidelines for a little bit. Not down for the count, just not in the game. I'm just here. And that's okay... To just be here with no comma including future plans. It's okay to just be here some times. #ARTUndone . . . #Blogger #Bloggerlife #Blog #Life #Living #Blackgirlswhoblog #Writer #Writing #transparent #Instablog #hair #naturalhair #Truth

This isn't one of those fluffy, cute questions. This one takes some thought. Some digging because it's more than just being able to say, I can make myself laugh or I don't mind being alone. It's more than that. Do you find yourself constantly questioning you actions, constantly being down on yourself, always needing a distraction from thinking for yourself or just being unhappy with everything in life and feeling like no one loves you or appreciates you? Because I've realized that for a while in the past, I can absolutely say I simply tolerated myself. Filling up on other people's problems, successes or opinions, I barely left time for me to work through my own problems or get to know myself. I tolerated myself, but I didn't thoroughly enjoy who I was and I definitely didn't appreciate myself enough to put myself first. My existence was more so depended on others. It wasn't that I was completely letting myself go or not even reaching some personal goals, but I also wasn't completely there for myself. I wasn't loving on Art, simply maintaining her. Staying above water when I was meant to actually fly. So, if the answer is no, I'm just tolerating myself for you. Put in the work to truly love yourself. If that means going to a therapist or counselor, do it. If that means taking some time to yourself, do it. Whatever that means for you, do it. It's worth it and you deserve something no one else but you can give, self-love. #ARTUndone . . . #Blogger #Instablog #Blog #instablogger #thinking #Writer #Writing #Motivation #growth #selflove #selfimprovement #Instagram #girlboss #Blackgirlswhoblog #Blackblogger #Thoughts #Lifestyleblogger #Lifelessons #happiness #happy #Smile #freedom #love

Learning to stop lying to yourself is hard because the only person you can be mad at is yourself. Try to minimize the small or big lies you tell yourself that are hindering you from being a better person. For example, I had to stop lying to myself about start dates. When I'm going to do something, either I'm going to start now or in the near future or I'm not going to do it at all. Setting unrealistic goals is a form of lying if you know in your heart you won't be following through. Either surprise yourself and complete those goals you set or stop putting pressure on yourself for things you never actually planned on completing. #ARTUndone . . . #Blogger #Instablog #Blog #instablogger #thinking #Writer #Writing #Motivation #growth #selflove #selfimprovement #Instagram #girlboss #Blackgirlswhoblog #Blackblogger #Thoughts #Lifestyleblogger #Lifelessons #happiness #happy #Smile #freedom #free #honesty #truth
