Art is really really important and I feel kinda bad about how limited my creative skills are :/
I wonder if I was ever actually assessed for dysgraphia when I was a kid. Would explain a whole lot.
Thinking about it more, I actually do have access to a couple forms of creative expression, but they all just feel so... small? Like I'm dangling my toes into the shallow end of the pool because I'm afraid to actually step in.
@starkatt I know this feel *offers hugs*
@xurnami :hugs softly: thank you
@starkatt I'm not awake enough yet to do more than say vaguely "it's okay," but I can recommend a book: Art and Fear. it is FANTASTIC for dealing with exactly these kinds of problems, no matter what kind of art, no matter what level of skill you have. if I can find my copy I'll bring it to the coffee place today so you can look at it. ;)
The obvious solution to this is to grind skills but it's so fucking hard to break through the feeling that getting to a point I'm not ashamed of requires more work than I'm actually willing to put it.
