More from DunwichDaddy
that's like 12 years
that's more than a decade
my history on FA is almost old enough to hit puberty
I made my first account back when I was16 years old of legal age to be to using this website -cough-
goddamn
sometimes I ask myself, will I still be here when I'm 30? 35? 40? 50? Even older presuming my generation is able to live that long? (thanks current U.S healthcare system)
it's weird to think about.
And even now, in my late 20's, I keep thinking "Should I like. Stop this? Should I not be doodling furries, bugs, imps, all with varying degrees of genitals and sexual self indulgence? Should I be trying to produce like, high end fine art, or trying to get some art degree so I can work for an Ad agency, or just drop it all together? Am I supposed to grow up and just leave all this behind?"
I know those questions kinda stem from my OCD Brain Gremlin getting bored and tearing up furniture in my brain, but it's hard to get stuck on the subject sometimes.
I don't know, I just like. Wonder if I don't "ADULTHOOD!™" now, am I going to be screwed later on and just be some pathetic weirdo down the line.
but I digress.
point is I've been on FA for like 12 fucking years and that's absolutely wild to me.

On the thought process of "should I even draw this at my age?", I can relate. What is it about the culture we live in that treats being creative for fun as childish and not a worthy pursuit for adults???
My therapist always said "you shouldn't feel bad about your hobbies and your interests. If they make your life happier that's a great thing! Most people don't have that creativity."

sounds like what my therapist said too.
it's just hard to think about the stereotypes we've all seen depicted in media.
Like the basement dwelling ultranerd, or the overweight world of warcraft player, or, daresay, the furry who's actually a creepy old dude offline.
And I just feel so afraid of becoming that, of being seen as that. Like this has to remain hidden, nobody in reality can ever know because I'll be judged for it.
but, there's certainly examples of other artists and writers out there who don't let that stop them, and I try to take inspiration from them. I suppose as long as one doesn't become an obnoxious twat or incapable of taking care of themselves, one should be able to enjoy whatever it is they enjoy creating. (so long as it isn't hurting anybody.)

Indeed, it's hard to get those thoughts out of my head too. I am always very aware that what I do for a hobby is way weird and different from others folks... it's hard not to get self conscious about these things.
I think the nicest thing about the modern age is that we can connect with other weirdos and feel just a little less weird.
