ok so I'm not consistant...

:iconv-x:

I'm trying anthros lately. Also trying to get myself to do something, anything. I tend to give up before I start--that way I can't fail. Don't tell me that line about "how can you succeed if you never try?" honestly, and I mean seriously honest, for me failure is worse than missing the chance to succeed. To me there are only chances to fall short, to let others down, to fail. If I manage to actually accomplish what I tried then it is a fluke.

So working to improve my sketching is a bit of a stretch for me. I know it doesn't sound like (or look like) much, but it is hard for me to keep trying when all I see are the mistakes.

*shrugs* I'm trying.

My best advice to you is to find someone whom you can share your life and ideas with, a friend. I've found someone and he's probably the closest friend i have in life.

yeah, a friend...never had one. Any ideas?

At 24 years old, I can honestly say my closest and longest friendship ended when I stayed back in second grade. Sinse then I haven't had friends, seriously, not anyone. No hanging out no inviting over no phone calls, ever. Nothing.

So suggestions are welcome!

I know so many things, that I do not feel...and feel so many things that I know aren't real.
It's nearly maddening at times, but insanity and depression are things I do not want to ever visit again.

I can't help you there; the only reason i have a friend is because he walked up to me three years ago and was not aware that i played the guitar. That started everything. I shared only one class with him at the time. Odd, but that is how i want to meet someone, with them coming to me and taking an interest. So much for being a romantic, it doesn't get one far in life.

It is easy to know what is not felt...I understand what you are saying, but this is a point to ponder rather than reply.

I have not known insanity and doubt there is such a thing (in concept), but after a while depression has little more than a moderate effect. The first time though is horrible, i will agree there. I still remember it with an abstract clarity.

It took a while, few moments of thought, but I think what you are syaing is that you see reality as in some way subjective, so sanity (which is the misperception of reality) would be a non issue...am I right?

About romantics, I have no desire for romance and the thought actually repells me. But I am very glad you have some one. It would be nice to have just 'some one'.

oh, If you do try that associative writing thing, and of course providing that you don't mind, I would be interested in reading some.

My experiences with insanity have been induced by a bad miss management of drugs while in hospitals. Which has nothing much to do with "real" insanity, whether or not you believe in it, drugs aren't the same.

Well, I don't know about three, so how about one question and two may be thought sometime in the future:
Where/how did you find me (or something of that nature)?

hey sorry for not seing this comment sooner...I think I found a comment by you that sounded...well, odd. So I clicked your name and tried to look over your work...which I can't do very well because I have no idea how to nav the place yet. Then I think I just dropped that comment in your journal...I think. But like I said I have no idea what I am really doing, don't even have a clue if you'll be notified about this reply.
