Self Portrait - June 2026

The Red Door Month

Medium: Ink

I was trying out a quiz on wikiHow (yes, I still like the website) where the results suggested that my personality (or life approach) was like a blue door, with plants and cosiness emitting. I imagine it to be like a place with wooden furniture, yellow lights, art words, beads, soft pillows and warm coffee. A place that feels safe and comfortable to any person or animal that comes in. It made sense, but it felt limiting. I want my space to feel this way, but in my current times, this idea feels more mindless than mindful. I don't want to go stagnant. So, I spent the month, right from the beginning, pushing the part of me that screams the red door.

It was the red door month.

I started things, and I did things. Small things. But very intentionally. I wrote with a red pen in my planner and kept reminding myself about it being the red door month.

It was an interesting month. :)
