Art as an Escape

My whole family got a thing for art.. Whether its actual art (drawings and pictures) or other forms of art like fashion. I haven't drawn in awhile but I've been so into my thoughts this week and it amazed me how I just started drawing and doodling. I think I realized that drawing is one of my ways to escape my reality, and the crazy thing is I just realized that today. I was in the middle of doing my schoolwork earlier, but then i found myself drawing pictures.

Before, I used to think a lot and I also used to draw a lot. Within my notebooks there was always a lot of drawings. I remember a couple of years ago I broke my leg and that was a very hard time for me because there was just so much going on with me, and then the problems of my family just had me so stressed out. At this time, I drew so much, and the last couple of days have brought me back to that time because of the behavior I am now realizing.
          Here are a couple of the pictures I drew the last couple of days.
