Conversation with myself

General
"Well, a new year has begun..."
And you are already two weeks into it, you late silly dragon
"Yeah, but I thought it would be nice if I shared what I've been up to lately. Don't you thi...?"
Ughh, I guess, but make it quick. I'm sure all these wonderful people have more important stuff to do besides reading your silly journal.
"Okay, so here it is. Winter Break came and went, and while I had lots of fun spending time with my family and working at a Language School..."
Look at me, I'm Mr. I-do-odd-jobs-because-I'm-trying-to-save-money! Such a braggy dragon you are, ain't it so?
"Shhh!! Don't interrupt me! So I spend all the time I had developing some personal projects and trying to bond with my siblings and my relatives alike."
And here comes the bad side of it... this dragon is so predictible.
"... so I really wasn't so active online as I planned to be."
Hahahah told you so! He's such an open book. You can see right through him.
"I really wished I could have chatted a lot more and befriended lots of people over while I had the time, but for some reason or other, I couldn't find the time or the energy at the end of the day to have meaningful conversations that weren't 'I'm about to fall asleep in any mom... zzzzz', and that's a shame."
Yeah, but still, you could have tried a lot harder. If you really wanted it, then you should've been able to achieve it.
"I did try! But I guess it wasn't enough. I made some overt promises and compromises that I couldn't keep. And I'm ashamed of myself because of it."
And you certainly should be, you lousy, phony fatso. You let down all those wonderful watchers of yours. Who do you think you are? You're such a diva!!
"No!! I don't want you to think of me like that. I am good... I can be good. Just give me another chance! I'll be a better friend, I promise..."
Again with your pointless and empty promises? Haven't you learned anything? All of the trades you've done have ended in you being significantly late: some for over two years!! You say you want to be a better artist but you keep messing up you opportunities by having the least reliable schedule in history!
"B-Buh... B-But... But I'm trying! I have school to..."
School??? You want to blame it on your studies? There are plenty of people doing a lot more than you in school, who still have time to spend with their fiends while doing whatever they like, and furthermore who earn better grades than you. Pffft! The nerve!
"I'm really trying! I have improved..."
Improved? When was the last time you participated in a collaboration with one of your writer friends? Huh? Or the last time you made a pic for yourself? You've told everyone about those 'brand new characters' you have developed for years now, and still you haven't got a decent reference of yourself! You call that improvement? If anything you are less active in this site than what you were two years ago. And far less funny for that matter.
"I thought this would be easier. I'm sorr..."
Yeah, you also thought that being inactive would have no consequences, and that throwing promises to the wind would be forgiven as if nothing had happened. Guess what, Dragontzin? Life is not like that. Life doesn't give second chances. Life sucks.
"I'm sorry!"
That doesn't help at all. If anything it makes it worse. You want other to take pity on you? Shameful! Disgusting! What a waste of time. Asking for forgiveness can't repair the damage and you know it.
"I know. I'm sorry."
Well you should be. Now get back to work and put that blubbery ass of yours into motion if you don't want it doubly kicked before January ends. You are literally the largest waste of time I've ever seen. GO!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!
Quick little exercise of both self-criticism and self-motivation, that also serves as an apology for everyone out there waiting for me to respond. In reality I try not to be that harsh on myself, but sometimes, things have to be said that way: blunt and objectively. It hurts but in the end it is better for everyone.
So forgive me for my long winter hiatus. I will try to be as active as this semester allows me to be. And who knows... maybe I'll surprise you for once!
In the mean time, let me know if you have any recommendations, ideas, or suggestions for improving my work and practicing my skills. I can't promise I'll do any of them, but I'll sure read them and take them into consideration. Alright?
And —late as always— best wishes for this 2017!! :D
