Okay.
Lately I've been doing more and more art-related things and drawing, painting, and playing guitar more.
I've decided to hook up my scanner, and see if it works, and upload more things.
I'm loving my schedule this semester...it's really been helpful to get me back into art.
Today I've had nothing but black coffee and an apple, and though it's making my stomach hurt like there's no tomorrow, it's got me compelled to make a lot of art.
And I'm inspired lately, too.
Especially since I've had more time to think lately. It might not be great for my calm-ness, in some ways, because I've realized that a lot of my thinking might not be healthy...and I'm really thinking I might be following a loose-set family tradition of being psychologically unstable...though i more strongly than most of my family. Stupid...mental illness history...bleh.
I literally spent around twenty minutes just whispering to myself the same things over and over today.
"You're not like that"
There is a story behind that; a particularly crazy person in my family who lived with me for about 7 years. The worst thing, in my mind, is to be compared to that person, and I used to get told repeatedly "You're turning out just like her" or something to that effect.
That makes me angry, to this day, even though that person died a few years ago, and I know I'm not the same.
I don't really know why I'm typing all this. Venting, maybe? Raving?
Either way, I'm done thinking about it because it's making me feel physically ill just thinking about it. I'm glad those years are over and I'm never going back to that.
ANYWAY.
The point of this was to say. More art coming soon!
