#or passable

being greek means losing a year of your lifespan everytime americans decide to fancast ancient greek mythological figures or historic figures

Things I extremely dislike about Steve meta: when it’s written from an obvious angle, but that angle is not acknowledged, just heavily implied as you read on. And then there’s a very uncharitable and wrong wrong wrong bit about Tony just by the end, and you’ll never get the time you read the ‘meta’ back...

Me: *excited to start new crafting projects. Imagines all the possible things that can be created*

"This is going to be so great! I can't wait to get started!"

Also me: *messes up on the first try*

"What's the point? Why do I even bother. This is the best I'll get at this, I might as well throw in the towel and admit defeat. I am wholly unfit to create anything worthy of viewing."

personal insecurity rant (sorry!! Feel free to ignore)

sometimes i pass an art assessment (like just barely) and im like 'whoo yes everything's finally going my way im gonna be successful' then i see people, especially people with the same nationality as me, qualifying for 'best national schools' or high degree university courses like bachelors of computer engineering etc (which my dad kept advising for me to take) and i just drop deeper into that pit of regret like why did i choose to settle for 'just barely' or 'passable' why didnt i strive harder for the best And i also feel bad.. my parents- They can't really be proud of me, an art student (a 'hobby' subject) who's barely even average at it. I feel so sad too because even if they've been trying to get me to take better, more educational and useful courses, and berating me about my choice of subject, they've still been very supportive. They're not that strict about grades, they provide me with what i need in college, they gave me advices - and look what I'm giving back to them. I feel useless. And now i'm just wishing for that luck- that off chance of me getting a job in the highly competitive industry of.. wherever this would take me. illustration? animation? freelance? A good paying job if the world would be more generous. I want to give my family a good, and comfortable life. A permanent house. Cater for their needs, support my parents once they retire. But i'm so scared for the future that maybe I won't even make enough for myself to live comfortably.
