————————— WEEKLY COMMENTS —————————
♕ — LEARNED : Just a work week today-- but otherwise, I can say I read up more on Tarot Cards and studied my APUSH work a bit. Very interesting, I also learned more about the 1960's, as that was my favorite time period to study.
♕ — WANT TO LEARN: Finally got my computer back! So.. time to learn more photoshop? Perhaps more on animating on Photoshop, because it's a readily available source for me. With a basic knowledge of keyframing, it can't be too hard-- right?
♕ — FRUSTRATED: Really, really bad week. My depression hit like a truck, I'm struggling in school again, and my illness is slowly catching up to me. It's really, really difficult to keep my issues underwraps anymore, I honestly feel like I'm going to loose it any day. I'm frustrated because it feels impossible to be okay, I guess. It's incredibly upsetting, looking back on how great I used to be and how I had no worries as.. a 8 year old I suppose. Everything has spiraled, and I'll never be as carefree again, probably.
♕ — HAPPY: I saw Grease, which was a super happy moment for me. I love musicals, and Grease was my first ever musical. Greasers are also a huge importance in my life, I love the culture of the 1960's, and my Dad was once a Greaser. Yeah, and I mean the stereotypical white shirt, leather jacket and chain smoking abilities from hell.
♕ — INTERESTING LINK: Lets uh.. Here, this is an 'older' animation, (aka last year.) called 'In a Heartbeat.' Super adorable, pretty self explanatory, and I loved it so much when it came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2REkk9SCRn0
I hope you feel better and that this week is better for you
ReplyDeleteSame boat as in frustrated, but let me give you this: Our more carefree childhood is not to be yearned for, but learned from. As children we were carefree because we didn't know structure. Now that we're older, we see the "wrongness" of how we approached X before, be it art, mental health, or just How the World Works.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing is not to give up. With structure, with patience, and with adult scrutiny we can excel the carefree whims of a child. We can redouble our efforts. Instead of not caring how we're doing/viewing X, we can truly focus that care into a clearer answer.
As I child, I didn't know what my anxiety was. There were just "bad days", "bad bad days" and "ok days". Now that I'm older, I understand what I'm going through, why, and ways to cope that I didn't have earlier in life. There's hope yet! It's not that you aren't as good, it's just that you need to relearn with more control. Things will make more sense!!!
And don't be afraid to get help. B'o)! Best of luck. Hopefully /I/ made sense. I'm a ramble mess. Oops!
I can't say that I've become unhappy as to the extent you have, so I can't do much comfort wise. But I will always support you! Hope you feel better sooner rather than later. Also that animation is super adorable. I'm surprised I've never seen it before.
