This is loooooong by Kordoruna

Title says it all. Note: I'm not particularly depressed or anything, just introspective about things and explaining I guess..

For starters, I've still been thinking about where I stand on the whole art thing. Like, to me art is something I've always loved to do, and people constantly kept telling me I was good at it. I liked drawing things for people, and I kept getting told I should be an artist. I never really had any plans towards this, but I thought it might make a good career path, and for a while I wanted to be a concept artist...until I realized I was lacking the talent severely. Like, I was never around artists before I started becoming more active online, and noticed I didn't seem to be even remotely close to that level. When jobs became an issue, I knew there was no way I could rely on commissions to provide for myself. I'm not suffering by any means, but it would be nice to not have to worry about anything. I do have a prospective job, but I still haven't heard back from them yet.

As for other things, a lot of peeps have been talking about moving out, and I'm even seeing one off tomorrow. I would be lying if I said I wasn't lonely, but it's more attributed to the lack of anything (or anyone) major in my life. I did go to college, but had to drop out due to both technology failure and another issue I really don't want to mention, and I sure as heck can't afford to go back to school right now. I do stress and worry a lot, and sometimes that manifests itself as vent art and whatnot. Other times, I just sink myself into my games or anime and kind of disappear for a while.

I've also got irregular insomnia, so even when I'm tired, I still don't get much sleep and it results in me being up as late as 5 or 8 in the morning. I guess when it really comes down to it, I feel like rather than having a lot on my plate, the plate itself is empty but HEAVY. beh. Just felt like getting it out I guess.

Thanks for reading.

    Heh, you should read some of mine or LoneCompanion's journals sometime, those can get long, especially in comments. But yeah.

    I liked drawing things for people, and I kept getting told I should be an artist.

    Then why stop the first part, even if just for yourself? I know you mean artist as in a career artist that gets paid, but you ARE an artist no matter what you do, just by simply creating art.

    I can empathize with the other two things for sure, though. *points to the bags under his eyes* I'm normally up until way past the sun rises and only get a handful of hours of sleep through sheer exhaustion. As soon as my body has a little charge back in it, boom, I'm back up.

    As to the former point, I graduated last year and had to move home to recover from an accident right after graduation, which kind of put a spoiler on 4 years of hard work. It has been unbelievably lonely as being out here again was never my intention, and all my former local friends have moved on or away. I tried making some more, but it just didn't really work out. I've got nothing or anyone major in my life anymore. It's a pretty pointless existence, but I still find a little motivation to scrape by each day. What's gotten me through today is knowing tomorrow I'll go sit in the coffee shop for awhile, enjoy my favorite iced coffee, then go over to the restaurant, sit in the bar with a tasty burger, and watch some sports. That's it. It's not much, but it's something to look forward to I guess.
