we all need a little pick-me-up

i deeply apologize for my recent inactivity, I’ve been dealing with a lot of personal stuff

Luke: you were turning towards the dark

Kylo: I was asleep

Luke: I could feel the darkness

Kylo: it was two in the morning

I crave intimacy but I get confused and uncomfortable when I’m shown even the slightest bit of attention or affection.

I think one of the kindest things you can do for yourself as an artist is to accept that you will make bad drawings sometimes and just…stop caring about it. It’s not like that bad sketch you drew was your one and only chance to ever draw the thing. It’s so much easier emotionally to just say “lol what is that?” delete it and start over than it is to spend the next six hours crying about it.

Once you stop treating every single thing you draw as something precious and learn to just throw stuff away it takes so much stress away. One bad drawing doesn’t make you a bad artist, or a fraud. Even the best pro artists are gonna have moments where they draw things wrong.

You’re going to make bad drawings so just go out there and make them so you can move on with your life. Chances are your second attempt will be better. 

You aren’t born with greatness. You are born with great potential. Song Ten Thousand Hours.

it is tremendously freeing to realize that saying “I’m not informed enough about this issue to have a real opinion” is an option
