So earlier in art class today, someone drew a characters hands in their pockets and mentioned that hands are really like the ultimate end boss of art, and most of us wholeheartedly agreed. So then, our teacher went ahead and free handed like a handful of hands on the board, earning a woah from a couple of students. So the one from earlier mentioned how it barely took the teacher ten seconds to do what I can’t do in three hours. And you know what he responded?
“It didn’t take me ten seconds, it took me forty years.”
And you know, that stuck with me somehow. Because yeah. Drawing a hand didn’t take him fourth years. But learning and practicing to draw a hand in ten seconds did. And I think there’s something to learn there but it’s so warm and my brain is fried so I can’t formulate the actual morale of the lesson.

I say this with utmost sincerity: go outside. Get a pet. Read a book. Take up knitting. Something, ANYTHING, to occupy your time in a constructive way.
Okay sorry ETA but anon: how does acting like this help you? How does it improve your life? How does it bring you joy? I don’t mean petty satisfaction; I mean actual joy, genuine happiness. I think you need to ask yourself these questions and then see if this is behavior you should continue or not.
got fired via a text from my boss who i’ve never digitally communicated with and because it was an unknown number sending a mysterious link with no context (turned out to be security camera footage of me taking 1 can of cheap beer) i assumed it was spam and my immediate response was
I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times
