Back to the Drawing Board

<p>Over the last few years, I&rsquo;ve had a series of unfortunate events that created some big changes in my life. My wife came out, we divorced, and I was laid off &mdash; those are just the highlights.</p> <p>Understandably, I was in an existential slump.</p> <p>An old friend of mine suggested I get back into drawing. For as long as I can remember I have doodled all over anything I could. Before getting into poetry, I wanted to be an animator or a cartoonist.</p> <p>The &ldquo;funnies&rdquo; were my favorite section of the newspaper. I read them daily, especially on Sunday. I often doodled characters and comics when I should have been paying attention in class.</p> <p>In high school, I began to write poetry. My poems were often accompanied by doodles. My interest and skill in art led me to a career in graphic design and marketing. As the years went by, drawing for fun faded away.</p> <p>Now that I was in a moment of crisis, my friend&rsquo;s words called me back to the pencil and paper I had left behind.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@barnabasprime/back-to-the-drawing-board-fe3c6bf5912a"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
