Don’t create to be good, create to create. Judge later if it’s good.

interesting philosophy

[–] heliumlake 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is exactly how I’m feeling right now.

Your value is intrinsic and love is never earned but freely given, so here's some... loving you friend!!!

[–] heliumlake 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I appreciate it friend. Just had a conversation today about it and I'm feeling better. Thank you. :)

I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to add to this for you! It's not just value and love that comes from within, but happiness as well! I became a much happier person when I took a step outside of myself and realized that I needed to start sorta "dating myself" to even understand what I want in life. I highly recommend that everybody take time once in a while to do something alone without a screen involved and just focus on enjoying yourself. Read, write, play music, paint, hike, knit, woodwork, something that makes you feel productive and alive.

That and correcting what was apparently a pretty substantial vitamin D deficiency by taking a shitload of vitamin D supplements, anyway. Have a doctor check your blood. If it's too expensive, hello fellow American, you're almost certainly living at a latitude high enough that you should be taking vitamin D supplements lol.

I know the art is cool and all but I like how the brush appears to be "crying"

Oh no, it’s me. I’m the red Grimmace in this picture.

I'm good at quite a few things. Doesn't help...

The pain from this is real

always finding new ridiculous standards that i can fail at.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

On the other side of the coin, if they love you because of your art that might seem a bit parasocial. And it seems more realistic that they'd be attracted to the income that you have rather than any skill/art itself.

lots of people who aren't useless but are directly harmful don't feel this way. if you're worried about being a good person, then you're halfway there.
