I may be a little spacey, but I love my friends!
10 years ago
For those who might not have noticed this about me yet: I can be a little absent-minded at times.
I often tend to focus so intently on something I forget most other things, and that focus can change rather quickly, or remain for days at a time. This is how my brain works.
But I want ALL my friends to know I love them to bits! Even if I don't say much, lose track of conversations, or otherwise completely space out, it's not because I want to stop talking, or don't care, it just happens - I can't help it!
My grandpa used to tell me I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on, and he was right!
I keep notes, so I can try to keep track of everything, and I even lose track of those notes!
I try to divvy up my time and make sure no one is left out, but heck, I leave myself out half the time, like forgetting to eat!
Alternatively, I will try to multi-task, and end up doing 8 things at once before I catch myself and try to narrow it down to a more manageable number, so I actually make progress in something.
This means my activity and attention can be pretty erratic from day to day.
Like my comments and favouriting of awesome arts. There's too much to keep up with, and I can't pick any one friend over another, so it's pretty random what I click next!
Technically I could (possibly) comment and view every bit of art my friends and favourite artists post, if I didn't eat, sleep, or blink.
But that might not go so well!
Alas, sleep and eating are necessary, as much as I'd like to skip it sometimes to do more interesting things!
Honestly, I wish I could give everyone the attention I feel they deserve, but there wouldn't be enough time in the day to do that, even if I had just one friend!
The friends I make - the people that I share that mutual care and respect with - they make life worth living!
I can't think of much that means more to me than those who have shown me such kindness, and have shared their time with me!
So I like to do little journals like this from time to time, with the occasional bit of art here and there, because it's important to me that I let those wonderful people know how much they mean to me!
You're all awesome!! More than I could ever express in words or art!
But that won't stop me from trying!

I must say I'm surprised, just...that feeling of "oh, I recognize that guy." :P
