I've been thinking.
5 years ago
Y'know, I've been thinking about something recently. I suck. I'm not gonna try to be negative here, but I do, I feel like all I do around here, is post crudely drawn art, make promises and goals I never keep, and worst of all, let's be real, I don't draw.
I can't commission it due to personal reasons,
I can't seem to get past the sketch stage,
everyone's better at it anyway, so what's the point?
No one but my best friends/supporters comment on my stuff,
But y'know what? I've reached a breaking point.
I have no more F's to give.
I don't care anymore, I wanna do art for me, I want to make my little world, I WANNA DO SOME FUCKING ART! 'cuse me.
But for me to do this, I need to stop. caring.
The only things I will focus on going forward is my artwork, and comments, cause those things are like drugs for me, heh... anyway, I know what I like, if you do too, Great! if not, don't even worry about it. cause I won't. if anyone is interested in lore, I will gladly tell you about it, otherwise, XP

-drawn art

So don't give up and be assured that even if not every person is vocal (because of time constrints or being shy for example) about it always, there will always be people who appreciate that you share yourself in the art community. Not just that. Through writing your journals and messages to other people you already do a wonderful part in benefitting to what makes this place fun.
I offered it you before already, but never hesitate to message me if you'd like a listener, dude. I still love and appreciate the generous and lovely digital drawing that you had sent me. And I definitely root for that you keep trying to create illustrations and artworks that will bring you personal joy. =D
There is nothing wrong with you and having ambitions is great as long as you don't hit yourself over the head over things too much. Take things in your pace and make the best of each moment. ^_^
I have thought about other mediums.
-drawn art I'm trying to just, DO, and not get bonked in the head with my art block concrete wall!
-crafts I am wanting to do, but we need to move first to be able to do that.
-design sounds interesting, and I may have a knack for that, but we'll see.
-writing I'm surprisingly good at! so I'll continue that.
-sewing & tailoring... I mean if embroidery counts as sewing, then I'm wanting to do that~
-modeling is tempting, but I need a computer upgrade before I even Attempt that.
-photography is tempting as well, and I feel I could have fun with it too.
-arrangements, such as music-making I Want to do. I wanna make my very own soundtrack and character themes~
-video editing I need to get better at if I want my YT channel to have a chance.
-role-playing! Not to brag~ but I'm exceptional at that~
-character creation is a natural art for me, it's Sharing that idea that gets me |3
If I ever start feeling bad again, I may hit you up and chat a bit, your sunshine rays are almost too strong to fight against. ^ w^
You're familiar with that "omaea wa mu, shindaru" memes? I think when you talk to people, it's like "You are, already my friend." It's a given~
And it really is easy to befriend me. Treating each others as equals, sharing the fun and acceptance is what counts for me. Nobody needs to feel like that they have to do anything special to approach me. I have an open mind for anybody who behaves friendly and just likes to converse. =3
Doing art for yourself is better, if you enjoy it, go for it <3 Everything you said in this journal is all a step in the right direction <3
Thank you too <3 You're a sweet person to hang out with~
