Graphic Designs

I am really starting to get into graphic designing and I am very excited to work on new designs!! I just started putting my ideas onto the digital paper, and here’s what I’ve been coming up with! Words of encouragement that I think each one of us needs to be reminded of, including myself 🙂

I came up with this as I was going through depression and deeply rooted thoughts of worthlessness and unworthiness. As I am overcoming lots of it, I am realizing that people often struggle with this as well while going through depression and anxiety. I was remembering and grieving some moments when people I have loved had treated me with contempt and treated me like I was worthless through their words and actions. In a summary form of what I have been dealing for years: As I was crying with much grief remembering these traumatic abusive moments, I was reminded with a small still voice in my head saying, “Judy, you were still worthy to be loved then.” Which made me cry even more in hysteria, realizing that we should be worthy to be loved, no matter how people treat us. Which turned into a “You are worthy to be loved.” Which led to more tears and realization. Simply put, I think it was God. And I think it’s a truth that’s hard to believe if you didn’t think it growing up. But you better start believing it! Ask anyone around you that cares about you, they will agree.

I’ve always wanted to use art as a form of encouragement, especially truths that I have learned the hard way, or wished someone would’ve told me at a young age. One being the thought that I am significant. And in turn preaching this message, I tell you that you are also significant.

The objects from this one are from a series of downloadable vectors I found online (thank you freepik.com) and I started changing the positions of the flowers and picking and choosing from various options, and changing the words to be more of importance and meaning. Simply reminding you that you are significant. Don’t forget that you are important and your life is very important. Don’t let this media digital world drown your beautiful meaningful life out in comparison to others. I know in Korea the suicide rate is incredibly high, and the happiness level in this country is incredibly low. Don’t be part of the statistics, and if you are, just know you are significant. Don’t forget it. Hold on to it. Save this and put it as your phone screen saver until it becomes a habit to read and remember. Hold on, dear.

More graphic designing ideas to come and be made! Requests are also okay in the comments, for encouragement (not for your business or profit). Thanks!

To Be Loved.

The more I realize the purpose of human existence,
or lack thereof,
the more I find myself concerned with the same observation:

We are obsessed with love.
We are obsessed with the idea of love.
And everybody wants to be loved.

Sitting with a room full of girls, and chatter about this boy, and that boy.

Scrolling through my media feed, posts on loneliness and the desire for intimacy.

Casually trying to study at a quaint cozy cafe on a holiday,
bombarded with age-old gossip from strangers who’ve become neighbors,
but the conversation dies in heavy sighs,
and the quest for “the one”
the affection and care of a man,
the intimacy spent between two creatures of opposite ways.

So close, yet so far away.

I’m beginning to think that-
deep
down,
inside
e v e r y
s i n g l e
o n e
o f
us,
is a deep yearning

t o   b e   l o v e d .

Is that so wrong?

We are a people obsessed with love.

Perhaps,
Maybe,
Quite possibly…
We were designed this way.

We were designed for l o v e.

What does that mean?
Hmm…
Well, let me ask you something:

What do you do for love?
That is the scrutiny that reveals.

Do you do the things you do for love?
For attention?
Do you say the things you say for love?
For affection?
Do you emulate those around you
for the sake of feeling desired?
Sought after?
Adored?
Special?
Important?

How much do you do to be loved?

Or do you just be.
Be me.
Be you.
Like a real human be-ing.
Not a human do-ing.

We were designed to be.
Not do.

L O V E.

To be loved, is to be loved unconditionally.
U n c o n d i t i o n a l l y.

Which means “without conditions or limitations,” “absolute,”
which also can mean “unchangable”

Meaning- no matter what you have done
no matter what you failed at
no matter how much you lashed out on someone
L O V E is there to forgive you,
to embrace you,
to hold you,
to support you,
to edify you,
to love you.

We are obsessed with love because love is too good to be true.
The Hollywood films have distorted it,
and reality has tainted it.

Experiences with human love, rather, lust, lead to jadedness.
But deep down,
we desire L O V E.

What is L O V E?

L O V E is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.

It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.

L O V E never fails.

God is L O V E.
He is unconditionally loving us.
From the day of our birth,
to the day on our deathbeds.
He is obsessed about love.
He IS love.

He’s created us to be objects of love.
Like a child is conceived and birthed
merely to be loved,
nothing else.

That’s why we are obsessed with love.
Our very design is to be loved.
For our Father is L O V E.
And He’s obsessed with loving us.

Cus God is L O V E.
