Is it weird that I purchased a coloring book for my own personal use?
Is it weird that I intend on using it as a form of relaxation?
Is it weird that I just can't stop flipping through all the beautiful pages?
To some, yes this would all seem a little weird, especially for someone at my age, in their later 20's. For those that know me all too well, no, this wouldn't surprise them at all.
With this being said, I wanted to share my thoughts with you on owning one's "weirdness," and how I stopped caring what people thought and doing more of what I love.

DeleteI just watched you video about it and let me tell you, this coloring books are crazy huge in Brazil right now. And you know who use them mostly? Adults! So, I don't think it's strange at all that you'd buy one for yourself. I know people who even collected them, and again, not uncommon!

DeleteJust recently it's been discovered that colouring in is a great form of relaxation for people suffering with mental health problems. It has really taken off, so not weird at all. :) Anything that helps sick people get better is great in my book. I'm going to get some for our vacation coming up soon. :)
