I'm gonna shit.

Okay, back from my shit.

So it's been a month since my last post. The things that have gone on between then and now are worthy of being put into the history books. The world's getting hotter and hotter, the future is full of "what-if's" and "maybe's", and I can't figure out a third thing to write here.

So what do we do? Well, first of all, we get off the phone, the games, and the social media and start doing something productive and meaningful. Something you enjoy doing that you can share with others. For me, making art is just that, it's a productive and a social activity. I get to draw cool stuff and I get people to talk about the cool stuff. Although to be fair, when I post it, nobody's around because I post at weird times of the day.

Maybe that's my old Tumblr-era wannabe mindset talking. Whatever the case, it doesn't really drive me as much as it used to these days.

I've also begun adopting the Rad Bradbury quote of, "The intellect is a terrible danger to creativity" (you can watch that here) and I get that now. 'Cuz I can't THINK about making art I enjoy. I have to just do it. Art's one of those things where you don't NEED to be smart to be genuine. Sure, you can use your critical thinking skills and try to reason it out, but all in all, being creative is less about answering questions and more about processing feelings and emotions through the lens of other characters and mediums.

And I can speak to the truth of that quote. I was always second-guessing my own art and THINKING about it, rather than just DOING it. I was burying my personality underneath layers of pretend "smartness", but I don't think I made friends by being SMART, did I?

So I hope this opened up your eyes to the immaculate nature of creativity, or at least gave you all a better glance into what my life was like. Coming up next...who knows? That's why we stay in the game, right? In the wise words of Ray Bradbury, "Don't think."
