do art!
Yeah, I should. But I like, slide into the apathy of depression where I just... do nothing, can't find the volition to do anything, and at the bottom don't even want to do anything. Just waiting for time to pass without caring.
That was my week, I think I feel the slight tingle of energy coming back that signifies an upwards curve out of the slump
Good for upward curves!
You should find an art friend. Sometimes when I'm feeling shitty and non creatively productive it helps to sit somewhere with an artist friend who is also doing art so we can be mutually encouraging.
Hm.. I should find people to art with.
I do actually know a person who'd be the perfect art friend, apart from the tiny little issue of me breaking up with her. Man, of all the things that were actually good decisions that is the worst one.
People don't need a lot to be happy. Or they shouldn't. The general consensus is that if you can't find a way to be happy with your situation then ... you should change it.
And good. Go on. Try that.
But a portion of the people who can't find happiness end up realizing that the goals they set don't bring them happiness. Will you find 'comfort' in your free time if you have more of it, or will you still be in a position to feel guilty and unfulfilled? I would say that such feelings are deeper than the sort of thing you can just work yourself out of.
But I don't know. I thoroughly enjoy my free time, whether I have a little or a lot of it. Maybe I am just not very ambitious.
being a sad and confused person it is hard for me to say with certainties what things do make me happy. the one that stands out is accomplishing things. i am kind of an anxiously useless person a lot of the time so getting things done makes me feel very satisfied and happy. idk if a white collar, fancy job will make me feel more accomplished but it does seem like it will give me more interesting, rewarding tasks to finish then 'make sure this person goes to break at 12:10 and also no one waits in line for more than 90 seconds'. also more money and more flexibility in my time off means more recreational things to accomplish (diy stuff around the house, hiking and traveling and stuff) to go with the career accomplishments.
Maybe? Man, I don't know.
I guess all I really know is how to solve my own problems. I just wish that people could be happy. I hear from people who think that getting married or having kids or what have you will make them go from not happy to happy and it's like ... what if it doesn't? What if you commit to these giant, life-altering things without finding any happiness at all?
But trying to make your work situation more appealing isn't really the same. So ... go for it? What could it hurt? But I feel like being satisfied as an individual with yourself should take precedent - and have difficulty recognizing that one could accomplish this through the job grind - but just because I have difficulty believing it doesn't mean it isn't a proper solution. I hope it is.
you want a sense of accomplishment, chu? there it is.

Lately in order to try to be a little happier I've started splitting things up into very small goals.
So I have a checklist that I update really frequently with stuff like "do laundry" and "shave" and "switch bedsheets" etc. on it, and I try to do one or two things on it a day, and it actually helps a lot

yeah, I should do like you. You keep going with it. I'm... very sporadic.

Aw that sucks
My main art friend lives in a different time zone during the school year, so we kind of sporadically skype while we animate and it still works pretty well. It's just nice to have someone to nod sympathetically when you yell things like "I CANNOT DRAW ARMS I AM A USELESS HUMAN" or to go "um the eyes are.. really uneven..." when necessary

yeah she would have made a pretty perfect girlfriend but my feelings weren't on board with that assessment. C'est la vie. Or l'amour. Anyway.

"Be grateful for what you have" is bullshit when it's delivered from on high from someone who is dismissing your problems.
As an a component of an internalized personal philosophy however I would wager it delivers more happiness and satisfaction than "I want what they have" or, even worse, "I hate that I'm not/don't have <this>".
Like. I'd put all my money on that bet. And I'd win.
Oh yeah totally

as my french teacher used to say if I did badly on a test
I am rearranging my living room so that I have an actual real workspace for my art stuff and even though it's still pretty much in disaster mode for the moment, I'm really, really happy that it's happening at all
but the fun thing about them is that they're different art styles, shown through a single art style, if that makes any sense
one of my absolute favourite things to see is one artist imitating various styles outside of theirs, or several artists' interpretations of the same style.
There's a really cool post floating around Tumblr right now that compares how each of the main animators on SU draw Pearl and it's super neat. So similar, and yet with a different kind of feeling depending on who's drawing her.
