I promise I don’t like play video games to the exclusion of all other hobbies and interests, they’re just what I’ve been turning to in the evenings when I’m tired and want to escape for a bit. I do realize I probably should use more of that time for self-betterment in THIS plane of reality, though. ahehehhhh.

this is the anxiety talking I guess 

just gotta exercise regularly, practice guitar, learn 2 more languages, start sewing so I can design my own clothing, take biking back up, up my paint & collage skills, practice storyboards, write more general and adult prose, and find enough money to fund classes in yoga, burlesque, graphic design, teaching, and how to do makeup properly. Easy.

...or I could think about myself but prettier in a sleek Art Deco dress looking out over a digital skyline, sure...

@irisjaycomics I feel you on this one. There's so many damn things I want to do or get good at, and not enough time or energy to do them.

@emanate @irisjaycomics Same. At the same time... time spent recuperating isn't time lost. Keeping yourself at work all the time is just as much of a road to madness if not more so, speaking from experience.

@Thaminga @emanate yeahhhh. It’s still frustrating to feel like I’ve only just reached a place in my life again since my teen years where I can even begin to feel fulfilled by self-betterment pursuits other than constantly producing comics and trying to claw my way up the industry ladder

this is the anxiety talking I guess 

@irisjaycomics @emanate @Thaminga It's a constant struggle and there's always SOMETHING else to fix or learn. Be glad you're in that place again, fuck around with some different things.
