While I feel good at the start of my day, it always begins to slow down, and the weight of depression settles in. It's hard to motivate myself to do anything and even if I do get it done, I feel as though I haven't done enough and have to keep going. I have to do a lot to feel I accomplished anything and by then I'm overwhelmed mentally. It's not a good feeling.
In watching a video about photography, as I would like to learn and I'm using my phone to do so, it was mentioned by the host that photographers are often compliment with a statement similar to, "Wow, that's a nice photo! You must have a great camera."
Never, in my life, have I thought about the quality of someone's tool assisting their work. Honestly! It might be because I grew up drawing and later writing and doing digital art, but I never thought to tell anyone, "Wow! Your artwork is gorgeous! You must have a great paintbrush!"
That's so odd, to me. People have been creating art with literal trash and I believe it's all dependent on skill. It's just interesting to learn that people bring up the quality of someone's tool in a compliment.
Artists: Have you been told a similar thing? How did it make you feel? Have you ever told someone else that?
My beloved cares not that it storms outside, only that the pile of blankets is comfy.

I took a hiatus in 2019. This is literally all I have to show for it.
Success doesn't stay in one place.
Some days it's nailing a presentation at work.
Other days it's not yelling at the barista for getting your order wrong.
Success isn't some grand finale. It's the little wins that make your day.
If you're still chasing that one moment where everything falls into place, let that go.
You're the only one who gets to define your success.
I don't understand why we can't have a Monster Hunter where we can just run around in the same environment and hang out. Why we can't just be bros and maybe see one another while we're doing other things. Explain.
My beloved companion and his newfound love of cat tv. I would love to get a bird feeder to put outside the window behind my desk so he can watch real birds more often!
