3:46 PM PST.

I feel like I'm wasting time again.

But I feel hopeful as well. I'm envisioning a few things I could do in the future. Things I want to do now.

Just not sure how.

And I feel too damn tired. Even though, that's pretty much always the case.

if imagination were made manifest...

15:05 I'm pretty frustrated and bored today. Nothing seems to satisfy me. May as well just hang on forums to entertain others. Been cleaning for a ton of the day but it just makes me more frustrated knowing that I'm the only one in this 4-person household who cares about the hygiene of this house an everyone else has given up.

I'm gonna regret posting that

Oh my, I don't know how it's like in your case.
But to tell you mine, I'm in a 5-people "party" (parents, 2 siblings and myself), only I and my big sis' are still caring......
Or "only I", in my mind, I mean... I'm thinking at maybe a "too high" level. Much higher than her.
But details aside, it might be good for you, especially if you got your career plans, to just build more plans ("getting your own home", or would I say, "territory") and motivate yourself to walk through the steps needed.

Hiya!

I really thank you for the suggestions!

I'm too young to get my own house yet. The only goals I've been having are to tidy up constantly and study. But I've been doing them constantly. I've now decided to maybe start to draw my own profile picture and perhaps signature.

There are so many artists on this forum and I love it. I hope it turns out well, I want to see what you draw.

Its 4:36 PM and now I'm thinking of drawing my own avatar.

GL with'at.

I should get to sleep, even though tomorrow is "free".
The cold is attacking again.
It's just a pain behind (not to say, in "there") when I have to go through a week* of bad shape. It's even one bigger pain, when the cold easily catches me.
(It just doesn't sound right to me, that "one catches the cold", when it's not intentional.)
I'm told² that there isn't any cure for the classic cold. "You have to let the body do its work; if it's too painful, then the basic medecine should be helpful."

*Medical estimation of the average duration.
²Not only by the doc', but also by colleagues from hospitals with whom I worked.

It's 8:52 PM. I feel so much better about the avatar I'm attempting to draw now that I've refined it a bit more. It's still not quite up to my standards but I think it'll probably-maybe-sort of work as an avatar since a lot of the details and flaws in it will be blurred out by the downscaling. Or they'll be 10x worse. It's hard to tell yet. Anyway, I still need some practice with stuff like this, but I think in a month or two I could actually be making my own really decent avatars.

Well, to each their perspective, I guess.
I'm like, "Come on, look at that face of mine"...
"It just... Feels too basic."
"Simple is best", sure, but that only works sometimes.

Well, I used to draw a lot as well so I can relate to the feeling.
I used to have a lot of unfinished projects that I just completely scrapped mid way just because I thought it was somehow mediocre or bad.
It's not a good mentality to have, sure you should be critical of your own work and should strive to be better but in the long run it can cause extreme amount of stress.

That's one thing I've learned about trying to improve at something. You have to balance a certain level of satisfaction with your work alongside a certain amount of ambition to improve to have a really healthy mindset for it. Too much of one or the other can easily lead you down the wrong path and throw you off-course. If you feel too satisfied, your ego can inflate and lead to a stunting in your growth as well as blatant ignorance of your skill and where you stand. Too much ambition can lead to much the same, albeit via a different path. The balance is vital.

Personally, I've always sided towards the too-much-ambition side of thing and it always makes my drawings feel inadequate. I've learned to beat that not by being satisfied with what I create, but with my progress. I suck as an artist. As someone who could only draw stick figures up until a year and four months ago, Im amazing and have come a long, long way.

Theres a lot more that goes into it than that. You should look towards your progress instead of your results for a lot of reasons, but this was just the aspect that was relevant and that I wanted to comment on.

As for scrapping stuff, yeah, that can definitely be bad. Its stressful, unhealthy, and doesnt teach you certain things that you can only learn by attempting to really polish and finish a drawing.

Its 4:40 PM, and I'm stoked for the weekend. Gonna relax, drink, celebrate, eat sushi. Dream weekend.

I used to do that. That's pretty unhealthy tbh. You should take some breaks.

It's 11:33 pm and I'm thinking that sometimes it's nice to not think. Your brain needs to vegetate from time to time while you sit around and do nothing. Guess that's okay.

got home. i'm fucking exhausted, and i don't want to do shit right now.

turns out that today wasn't the funeral, it was simply a commemorative service thing for my grandfather at a Kingdom Hall he attended.

the burial is on the 21st, we might be going for that as well.
