Description

I'm going to lay off the negativity and just let my stuff be what it is, yknow?

I've never felt insecure about my art, despite it being the thing I always thought I would try to make my living on.
People think that's because writing is less important to me, it's not. Kinda the opposite, almost. It's complicated.

This doesn't mean I'll start posting my writing. This doesn't mean anything except that I'm going to try and stop having a negative attitude about it. I don't think the confidence to post it will magically come overnight, but I'll keep trying.

I was always so scared it'd hit the point that writing would stop being fun for me - but I never did anything about my shitty attitude.
Attacking myself in a comic wouldn't really solve anything, I realized, as cool and validating as vent comics are, I've been locked in this perpetual circle of self-hate for yeaaaarrs.

So
Going to try not calling my stuff shit or reminding myself or others that I hate it. 
Which is terrifying - because I'm pretty stubborn in my belief
Whether I'm right or wrong has nothing to do with it though. I should be able to love doing it. I think that should include feeling good about myself probably?

Whatever, most importantly, i've got people I dont want to let down. And other people i vindictively want to show i wont be discouraged by their attitude.
Should the opinions of others maybe matter less to me? Fuck yeah. Thats what got me to this low point.
Whatever, fuck you all.
Also, I love you.
Understand?

Why is blue always my go to colour?

Remind yourself you're cool today, because you're cool.
Loving yourself is cool. Because its hard and scary and looks great on everyone
