personal stuff
Realizing that the compassion I extended to a friend earlier is something I should extend to myself; given just how crappy my background is, it's neither kind nor reasonable for me to expect myself to be this incredibly sane, incredibly social, incredibly brave whirlwind of art-making.
... especially since I came out of 2017 much saner and a better artist than I went in, which is pretty good considering how close I came not to making it out of 2017.

In related news, I'm at this point in my life where literally no time is wasted.
It'd be great to keep making breakthroughs with art and personal stuff, and I definitely need to socialize more and figure that out a little, but if I'm not really doing much of anything, I pretty much need time doing not much of anything.
