re: "You're so talented!" 

@Ratttz God, 100% agreed. Practically the only time I've ever heard that phrase it's as a means to try to get -more- out of me somehow - work harder at art to please others, increase school performance, etc - even though at any given time I'm practically never not already doing what I can in those areas to begin with.

Like being good at some things means I can just fucking, magic my problems away or whatever. Shit doesn't work like that, and it didn't come out of nowhere either.
