Perhaps I'm not strong enough as I am but I need to stay hungry and grow until nothing can stop me

I think I have a lot of growing up left to do. I'm afraid of not being skilled enough as a full time artist, and I'm not sure I'm mentally resilient enough for a 9-5 service job. Sometimes you have to go through something tough to achieve something nice and... I just want a peaceful life.

Its one thing to fuck up pronouncing Nguyen, it's another to purposely say it wrong because they refuse to even try lol I like being Vietnamese stop making fun of my name

My own dad's yellow teeth, coughing fits, and constant need to spit in the shower is the only anti-cigarette campaign I'll ever need to never touch that shit again lol

I'm so tired already

I wanna talk a lil. Recently I started an office job; it's doable and busy albeit the pay is kinda low. I also lost my grandma recently, I'm past the shock but it's still sad. My future seems really vague but I think it's progress... I still believe my dream is art, like 100% and this

Got his ass

You never know what kinda day someone else is having. I offered a visitor some water at work today and he just deflated like "You're so nice... I'd love a glass, thanks." I don't know the full package but, hope your day is going good, my dude.

The difference in soul between an artist who'd having fun and an artist who's stressing over validation is night and day

i apologize for coming here to rant so often. been kind of going through some personal things myself, i shall return to my chill guy vibes soon

yknow the BA community has been kinda split on that whole racist momoi cosplayer thing, i feel like i have a mild yet uncommon(?) take: you are free to indulge in whatever humor you fancy but you dont take that shit outside to a random stranger lol its rude

AI artists/defenders piss me off the most when they don't even advocate for any pros, but instead just resort to calling artists unskilled or obsolete. They insult because they don't know how to create anything, even a good argument.

A lot of people talk about giving up art because someone else or AI or whatever can do it better. Doesn't matter if you're the worst artist in history, the only motivation you need is your own love for the craft

I'm seeing all the new AI stuff go around and I'm of the opinion this is genuinely amazing technology being misused to create soulless decorations lol

I hate the atmosphere of a hospital, can never get used to it here

When life gets ya down, have pho

Life comes at ya quick, I felt really good last weekend and now this week everything has been hitting me hard lol
