A proactive attack on solitude...
12 years ago
Well, since this is the beginning, I'll start here
This is mostly for my own sake, so bear with me if you actually choose to read this.
I need to stop being a pansy ass little scaredy cat about everything; be it art or talking to people or commenting or making journals, or anything. I need to stop avoiding things that scare me; which is, sadly, a really large list of things. So, here in this journal, I swear to do the following.
1) !Try to post a picture everyday or so!
Be it a doodle, practice, even mini-comics, I will strive to make sure to keep my gallery updated.
2) !Comment on stuff!
I want to start leaving meaningful shouts, comments and the like. Too often do I merely fave a image and be too chicken-shit too comment anything on because I think its pointless. I'll also try to reply more often to my favorite artists' journal and make meaningful connections to others
3) !Chat to people, new people!
Both in real life and online I have a habitual fear of approaching new people and talking with them, despite the good things that have come from instances where I have gotten the nerve to suck it up and talk to people.
4) !Create better ideas, especially with others!
Too often do I have creative energy, but no outlet to plug it into. I'd love to maybe collaborate with others on things like stories, or art, or anything really. Not only would I be helping myself, but I'd be helping someone else with a similar problem and maybe even make new friends.
There's probably a lot more I could say or do, but for now I'll just try for these things. Thank you for those who have actually read this.

P.S. My birthday is in 5 days on the 14th. I know that most likely no one will see this, but I just thought I'd put it out there ;3

I know, and I really appreciate it, but you were gentle about it. The guy I've been talking to told the same kinda things, just in less gentle terms X3

Well, yeah. I try to be nice about it. :P Ultimately, you have to make the choices and see the world for what it is and make your own decisions. :P

I know and from now on, I want to start actually making those decisions >:3
