Ayla mirolo Regardless of the spring-y colours all I could think of was sutures, and then this little phrase got stuck in my head.. whether or not it holds any merit is beyond me, but it rhymes and so it will be stuck in my head forever. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T AY L A :

Alyssa Robinson This piece is a celebration of human resilience. The quote comes from Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, and it serves as a reminder that all hardship – no matter the magnitude – will pass with time. The purple and red watercolor flowers symbolize our bruises and scars, literal and metaphoric, that we accumulate throughout life – and how these ugly experiences do not make us ugly ourselves. Your past and your ability to heal make you beautiful and strong. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T A LY S S A :

BILL CUNNINGHAM I live a double life. One is in real life and one is in Dungeons & Dragons. There, I’m also known as Borod Brightheart, Dwarf Paladin of the order of Bahamut.

Kaitlin Callender Recently I’ve been having to face my anxiety issues more and more. In coming to terms with it, one of the most healing techniques has been to repeat mantras to myself during times of stress. This is one of my favorites. Bad times don’t last. LEARN MORE ABOUT KAITLIN:

Pam Galante Healing can be a physical or mental process. It is done in our own ways, and can be a process that takes days, months, or even years. As time goes on, we learn important lessons about ourselves, others, or our surroundings; growing into wiser and better humans. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T PA M :

Kate LaLime I realize I’m not old by any means, but as I get older I have started to realize that sometimes I need to give myself a little more time to heal. Whether it’s an injury from working out, being sick or just a bout of anxiety, listening to my body ultimately makes me stronger. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T K AT E :
