Today's prompt: Draw a pony finding their happy place / Draw a clearing their mind.

Cookie is outwardly a confident and self-assured pony, but deep down, she grapples with a number of things that make her doubt herself, and though Beryl herself doesn't tend to go too far with her taunts, Cookie can't help but hear these inner thoughts in her voice. Most prevalent among her feelings of disquiet is how she's become the black sheep of her family, just because she's not part of the family culinary business, and she sometimes wonders if she goes on these treasure hunting adventures with Syntax just to prove herself…

However, when these thoughts plague her, Cookie does her best to tune them back out, and focus on what the ponies she cares about most in her life have said: her Ponyville friend Pecan, her brother Biscotti, her niece Pastel, her best friend Syntax, and her late mentor Knick Knack.

It's not always easy to drown out the nagging and darker voices in our innermost thoughts, but remembering the faces and voices of those you love and cherish the most can make it easier.
