I know, it seems as if I don’t know what day it is. Don’t worry, I’m fully aware it is Sunday afternoon. But the project is called Illustration Friday. Each week a new, usually one-word, prompt is sent out via email (and posted on the website) for artists to interpret as they choose. This week’s prompt is simply, “Vocal.”

This one is called “Sorry to Myself,” because we all could do with being a little kinder and more apologetic to ourselves and mostly because I had this floating through my head as I drew:

I’m sorry to myself
my apologies begin here before everybody else
I’m sorry to myself
for treating me worse than I would anybody else

-Alanis Morissette, “Sorry to Myself”

What is something you feel you need to apologize to yourself for?
