Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY...... Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on

I drew 14 pictures during the day, and wrote 32 pages a night. Now I can’t do shit.

A huge part of this is because you've gotten better! And now, when you're drawing/writing/doing whatever creative task, you're not just mindlessly throwing thoughts at your paper, you're thinking as you do it. Children can churn out a lot more work because it's not yet refined, but when you're older and have more practice, you work with all these thoughts running through your head about form and shape, color palettes or word choice. Now, you're making a dozen decisions with every moment of work, and you're also questioning the decisions you've just made, wondering if you can do it better. Don't beat yourself up about producing less work now than you did back then, because every sentence or shape involves a lot more effort for you now, than it did when you were ten and brand new to this hobby.

Also you have a job now and the never-ending bullshit that is laundry and dishes and feeding yourself.

your only job on this earth is to be so intrinsically yourself that the right people gravitate toward you and the wrong people move out of your way

the way common side effects handles its large cast of characters all with their own motivations, goals and history without losing focus is such good storytelling. it's succinct without feeling rushed and allows just enough breathing room for everyone to feel distinctly human. the show explores its premise from every angle it can, and much like how the planet itself was a character in scavengers reign, the mushroom is a character here.
