If you don’t pray often, you won’t gain a love for praying. Prayer is work, and therefore it is not very appealing to our natural sensibilities. But the simple rule for prayer is this: Begin praying and your taste for prayer will increase. The more you pray, the more you will acquire the desire for prayer, the energy for prayer, and the sense of purpose in prayer.

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

‘A Californian congressmen has just introduced a law to make it illegal to keep orcas in captivity. This could change everything — but SeaWorld is already mounting a vicious campaign to defeat this congressman’s brave move. We need to tell the State of California that the public won’t accept SeaWorld’s imprisonment of orcas any longer.’

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

Random art advice;
draw what makes you happy
work with your anxiety not against it
if working in a sketchbook makes you anxious, draw on printer paper or index cards
that way if that shit starts pissing you off you can literally toss it across the room
if one medium is giving you trouble try another
take a break from digital to work traditionally or vice versa
draw from reference
trace over reference with the intention of internalizing shapes
take what you love about other’s work and incorporate it into your own
if you need to work but are having trouble focusing, set a repeating timer
dick around for ten minutes and then work for ten minutes
if the timer goes off and you still feel like working, keep working
be kind to yourself
draw when you can as much as you can
do NOT beat yourself up for not being able to work
working in pen or marker can help you overcome fear of permanent mistakes
it can also help you work quicker and looser
do your undersketch in blue pen/marker and go over it in black
make corrections with whiteout or white gel pen
when you want to draw but don’t know what to work on, start by drawing circles or other shapes
fill a page with nonsense doodles
warm up your wrists
do the bean exercise
just fill a page with beans
draw what makes you happy
