Calming coloring pages

I have half-colored adult coloring pages tucked away… at home, at work, in the garage, in the car, hell, even in the bathroom. I blame Google. Google told me adult coloring pages was the answer to calm my anxious mind.

Buncha liars.

Every coloring page I bought, the damn lines were too thin and inevitably a kid would bump my arm and I’d get purple marker where my green was meant to be, ffs! This is NOT CALMING! And now I’ve ruined this! And everything is falling apart!?!

In a perfect, adult coloring page world, the designs would have thick black lines with bold motivational saying.

The thick black lines are perfect for my third-cup-of-coffee jittery hand, so I didn’t have to worry about getting outside the lines. And, the bold motivational saying would be repeating in my head, while I look over and see my kid standing at the top of the stairs, pretending to be batman. Everything is fine. Everything is fine. Everything is fine.

And there would be a balance of white spaces to color and black spaces to mess up… not too many, not too few. This balance would allow my mind to stay calm and interested, to keep coloring until the end. Not anxious and mad, wondering if my kid might bump my arm or move out of the house, before I ruin or finish the damn thing.
