Birthdays Are the Worst 🎂

I used to really be excited for my birthday, but the past couple of years they just seem to make me depressed. Does anyone else feel that way? 

I think it comes down to that birthdays are typically a celebration of someone’s life, and I don’t really want to celebrate mine. I’m no one special, I’ve done nothing remarkable. I fail on a consistent basis, and I’m stumbling through life with little to nothing to show for my existence on this planet. I feel like I’ve failed and now I’m too old to fix it. 

In recent months, I finally decided to give up pursuing the dream of becoming a professional artist/writer. I’m just not cut out for the “hustle,” and I’m not smart enough to keep with all the trends and marketing shticks. I had dreams to make cartoons, comics, video games. But I can’t do it. Don’t get me wrong, if things ever worked out naturally, I’d gladly take the opportunity—but otherwise, I’m understanding I’m not up to snuff to make my place in that world.

I’ve also come to realize that the pursuit tainted my love for creativity and even made hate it. Motives and priorities became twisted and backwards. It made me selfish, and it took me away from time with my family. I would lie awake at night wondering why I’m not getting anywhere or not good enough to succeed.

I missed being the kid who made shows on his tape recorder and drew comics on copy paper. And ultimately, I’m working my way back to that. And while that’s a great feeling and I’m certain it’s right for me, I’ve either admitted to failing after so long of trying or it took me 35 years to realize what’s really important. Either way you slice that cake, it’s pretty pathetic.

There are other things contributing to these feelings, too, of course—goals, dreams, bucket list stuff—but this particular subject seemed most fitting to dive into at the moment, due to this blog’s theme and current season of topics.

Maybe (and hopefully) my feelings will change. But, for now, this is where I’m at. I don’t even know why I’m even sharing this. Maybe it’s because I’m just tired of people asking me what’s wrong at this time of year. Maybe it’s because I’m hoping someone needed to hear it, or that someone can reaffirm what I’m going through. 

Regardless, if you do ever feel this way, I do, too. It’s normal, and it’s ok. And I’m sorry you’re in this mess, too. Hang in there and survive your birthday, holiday, or whatever, just one more time. This season always fades out and life will continue. I don’t have answers. I wish I did, but I don’t. But we could, and we’ll never find them if we turn out the lights too early.

Have you ever played Disney Heroes: Battle Mode?

I don't really play games I have a tablet and a phone for tech and affording Games for my Switch is impossible

Again I'm a failed artist meaning that people don't commission me, don't follow me and certainly i have not even made 1 sale, because I am disabled and my government has decided I'm not disabled enough or I am too young to be this disabled I do not receive any income at all I rely 100% upon my folks.

I can't even afford $100 to repair an iPad Pro to be able to upgrade my equipment I have an XP pen first generation artist Pro tablet but no laptop or computer to use it on

Yeah so video games or anything of that sort I can't ever afford it

I did receive a commission once I have a friend that is like a little brother to me and they were struggling with a commission and so we talked to the customer and they agreed that I could take over because they liked my style, but my little brother from another mother needed the money more so even though he offered to hand me some over for completing the commission that he couldn't I told him to keep the money,

I have also heard people many times say that they'll purchase things from me at this point. I do chuckle and say I'll believe it when I see the sale, this is not me being an ass it's me being realist

That's why I, when anybody does anything for me, I am so incredibly grateful and thankful because it's so rare that that happens. You are basically handing a 20 to a homeless person

Because without my parents letting me live with them and taking care of me like they do, I truly would be homeless,

i’ve been drawing all my life, but i started selling art 8 years ago, i’ve. only ever sold 8 drawings… i don’t think i’m bad, i guess, but i just wish that when people say “i’m gonna commission you” that they actually do, or when they promise to pay me that they actually pay me. because only like half the total commissions that i have ever gotten i have been paid for doing because i always fall for scams, even scams from friends :(

(and no i am not going to link my art account, i don’t want people to know that i’m a whiner and it would be too easy to find my actual social media )

I want it back / I drag its dead weight forward.

#Better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #digital art #This was a style experimentation doodle that took on a life of its own. #In a way it is a great example of 'beautiful failure'. The original goal was to try a pure black and white contrast piece. #Which I very much failed at doing. Not quite ready for that! However what this turned into is something I like a lot! #Different but in a way that really pushed me as an artist. A little less simple; a little more proportional. #I was also recently thinking about LWJ's grieving that we only catch glimpses of. #LWJ grieved his first love for 13 years. His love that was never reciprocated. #He chose to dedicate his heart to that mourning and most painfully of all - he did so knowing there was no end to that grief. #Wei Wuxian comes back to life in MDZS but that is an exception. Not the expectation. #He was dead. Not missing. Not 'maybe in hiding'. He was dead and his spirit unreachable. #Jiang Cheng went forwards with denial but LWJ takes that grief on. He copes by continuing to carry the weight with him. #Let me be clear. Neither are healthy approaches. It is a way to cope but it does not mean that is healing or healthy. #Grief is loved transformed but it is also about endurance and letting go. Grief can change you. You can also change your grief. #It isn't a good or evil thing to experience. It is just an experience.

A pair of Palila (Loxioides bailleui), a critically endangered Hawaiian native honeycreeper, forage on the lichen-covered branches of a māmane tree (Sophora chrysophylla).

Done as a wedding gift for a friend - I had this printed on a set of pillows for her new house!
