Sorry for being so rambly today (and last night) I have thoughts so onto the blog they go
I feel like part of the joy of art is in community, like you create something and you get to talk about it and share it with the world. This year I lost touch with the friends who I would always talk about art with and I think that loss is heavily impacting my ability to create (and the enjoyment I get from it.) I miss having a new idea and getting to ramble about it excitedly. I miss texting people the sketches and the mock ups and the color palettes.
I got into art for me. I wouldn’t show anything I made to anyone for years. So I’m no stranger for creating for the target audience of myself. Still, I miss that sense of community. I love this blog and I absolutely adore the lovely comments you all leave on my art but sometimes it feels so one-sided on here. I post a piece, I receive a lovely tag back and that’s it. End of story. I spend hours and hours working on something and it kind of disappears into the void in a day or so.
Trying to put it into words, but I think I wish I could create art that starts a conversation. That inspires people to create their own things in response, or even just talk with me about process. I think the perfectionism has gotten out of hand lately because I feel like I’m missing something—which I attribute to the quality of the piece—but really what I’m missing is buddies to chat about art with. There is no level of being “good enough” that will serve as a substitute for a real community.

On a different note, I might just murder my grandparents because holy fucking shit are they fucking pathetic assholes who I can't believe have lived for almost 80 fucking years and essentially raised a total of 5 kids across their life and never developed even a sliver of compassion or maturity
Because SERIOUSLY

Read the first five issues of Ranger Academy earlier today, so of course I made an OC.
She was a late bloomer to morphing and failed her morphin trial the first time around, but passed the next year and became a Green Ranger
Now in her last year, she does mentoring for first year cadets who are either anxious and/or scared about their trial, or those who failed their trial and didn't morph so they can talk to someone who'd been in the same boat
Because of mentoring and her general disorganization, she's behind on her studies and may have to repeat the year over again

i always find it hard to be happy for people accomplishing things that are... very clearly something i could also have done with the right support or a few less obstacles stacked against me, and i know that kind of makes me a bitch bc other people work hard too and other people are struggling with things i don't know about, but it's really just depressing to me more than anything that i can't even Try.

Ok 10 months and I'm almost over her I promise but I really wonder how her insistence on only ever hanging out in the early hours of the morning despite my extreme sleep disorder affected the trajectory of our relationship. At the time I worried it was hurting us because my conversation suffered but now I wonder, if she had actually agreed to see me while my brain was online would I have realized on my own that she did not like me? Or did that even matter? I still don't have a clue how to go about starting a new relationship or intimate friendship or what have you and if she called today I'd do it all again because I did not and do not and I worry I will not ever have anyone else like her
