No more art. Not for a long time.

Yes, you read that right. I'm not gonna be drawing for a long time. At least, I'm pretty sure I won't be.
I dunno. There used to be a time when I could scribble out nearly anything, and call it a job well done. I would run around showing people, or sticking it online to get reactions. Thinking back, I'm realizing just how immature I've been. All that time, I was acting like a child who just got a gold star on his assignment, and ran around showing random people out of pure innocence.
I can't afford to do that anymore. I'm not a child. Meaning that certain things just aren't appropriate anymore.
Such as scribbling out just anything and calling it art. To me, true art comes from the heart, and for some reason, my heart won't let me show what it wants to say. Nothing I draw comes out right. It sort of feels like something is missing... A few months ago, I might have gone so far as to say someone, but now I highly doubt that's the case. Until I find what that something is, I won't be able to free up whatever is blocking me from my creativity. I can barely even write nowadays, let alone pick up a pen.
So... yeah. That's it. Just thought I'd let you all know. I might occasionally decide to doodle something half-heartedly and put it here, but it doesn't mean I'll be "back." Until I've rediscovered what drove me to do this in the first place, I can't call myself an artist anymore.
