you'll never feel ready, and while there's fear and anxiety in that, there's also a decent amount of freedom and joy. you'll never feel ready, but that won't stop life, and whatever needs to happen will, and you'll survive it. you'll outgrow it, and the version of yourself you thought you were. you'll build yourself up from the scratch, and you'll start again. and then again, you won't feel ready, but with uncertainty there's possibility, and adventure, and hope. just make sure you're there for the ride! keep it going, baby, you got it!!π
Itβs 104% okay to come to your DM and just say, βHi, can we be friends?β And then start asking you random questions.
Possible ai interpretation, maybe I will use it as inspiration for my own drawing latter?
Once upon a time, in an enchanted kingdom, there was a mosquito that carried the West Nile fever. This mosquito bit a wealthy man and a poor one, a Jew and an Arab, a white person and a black person, women and men, hetro cisgenders and LGBTQ+ individuals. The story tells how people created protective barriers and divisions between themselves, but nature, in the form of the mosquito, pierced through these barriers and showed how easily something from each of them could seep into the other, revealing how arbitrary and temporary all these defenses and boundaries truly were.The king of the kingdom ordered the mosquito to be locked in a golden cage and asked the wisest person in the kingdom, a little girl who understood the language of all animals, to talk to the mosquito. The girl listened to the mosquito's story and told the king the moral lesson that the mosquito had taught. Instead of punishing the mosquito, they made it an important minister in the kingdom. The royal physician healed the mosquito, and the kingdom's scientists transformed it into a beautiful prince. The prince married the girl when she became old enough. She was the only one who saw the wisdom in the simple mosquito that had only come to sting.To everyone's surprise, as they did not know enough about science, it turned out that the mosquito was actually a female mosquito. So, the wise girl ended up marrying a mosquito princess who loved to wear princes' clothes. The two of them lived happily ever after, far away from all other humans who were unwilling to give up the barriers and divisions that separated them.When the people discovered that the mosquito was a female who had married a woman, they wanted to punish her. However, the girl, who was once a wise child, ran away with the mosquito princess to the mountains. There, they lived happily, far from people's eyes and the fears that drove society. They talked to animals, studied them, and understood their language. Over the years, they published scientific papers that brought human society closer to their broad worldview.
Many artists worry about what others will think of their work. Just remember that there will always be people who like what you do, and people who don't like it. There will always be people who agree and others who will always have something to say about it. The fear of not pleasing everyone sows confusion within you and can hold you back. Do what you love with honesty, create what makes you tick, work with rigor and sincerity, follow your instincts ! Whatever your art, do it first and foremost for yourself, as you are, because the only fear any artist should have is that of not being themselves.

good things to pay attention to more often
the color of trees
clouds and how they look different throughout the day
the different colors the mornings can have. sometimes it's an orange hue and sometimes pink and sometimes it's too misty to tell
pretty color schemes in random places (the trees and your neighbors wooden patio and the color of their car)
the states of the vehicles passing you by, dents and scratches and the different trinkets suspended from their rearview mirrors
the sound of silence
the shadows the lights cast in your home, like how sunset looks different than sunrise, and the shadows the sun casts look different than those of your lamps and candles
pretty details in buildings and houses like certain types of windows or doorknobs or archways
the movement of things in the wind. flags, leaves, flowers, people's hair and coats
And paused my investment of energy to my redbubble, for now I will focus more on writing. When new inspiration will come I will let you know, but I just felt that this is not me. It was a cute phase of escapism... But the reason I needed to sell was because I payed for nightcafe.art....
And if I just exist, money is not that interesting for me. I just want to make others happy and to have kind empathetic friendships beyond my little well known world for me... ππΊοΈππ
