Description Number 5 on the 100 Themes Challenge is Seeking Solace

About a year ago, some shit was going on so I listened to this song (( [link] )) about 10 times and just started writing about what my mind palace would look like.
Somehow a mysterious cat named Mika that grants wishes over a valley of purple wool at sunset became apart of it. There's more to the story but it makes as much sense as that.
I really love my little world, it was fun creating and I highly encourage everyone to just think "what makes me happy, what inspires me?" and just start thinking, or even writing, their own enchanting world.

This was also really awesome to create! I've started to go through a "this doesn't make me happy, so why am I doing it" phase. It started with school and no it's effecting my art. Luckily, this was a joy to just doodle and mess with colors and overall this was just a blast to create.

TL;DR? -BUILD YOUR OWN MIND PALACE. GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.

I don't know what else to say but the cat looks adorable. I also like how you made the background and the frame around it. This deserves more views and comments

This is awesome!! I really like the cat, it's cute and mysterious at the same time! ^^ The frame around it is gorgeous and makes the picture look perfect, especially with the balloon floating out of it - that's special Great job!!
How do you make your own mind palace? Just start... imagining what your mind would look like? 'cause it sounds something fun to do!

Thank you so much for the review, I'm pleased to know you like it ^^


The idea kind of started as a small joke. I was talking to my friends about how my favorite song is 17 minutes long and how if I were to take over a nation I would make it the nation's anthem. My friend commented that it would suck if my minions from the nation won gold in the Olympics. Anyway, I figured that a mind palace should be made up of every little thing I love and makes me happy so I took note of those special objects in my environment. It wasn't until a very bad night that I began to write it down.

So yeah, just think about everything that you like (architecture, people, music, landscapes) and it will be beautiful because you created it

You're welcome ^^
It's a fun and interesting story I think that in the next sleepless night I'll encounter, I'll try and create my own mind palace There will be doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, that will lead to many different places. I love doors!
