    Hello, everyone.
     
    I will try to make this first entry as short as possible, only describing what this blog will be about (of course, knowing me, I'll find some way to make this first entry long and convoluted ).
     
    Anyways, the reason why I've decided to make this blog has been to provide an outlet for myself to sublimate the negative feelings into a form that would be healthier than simply moping around listlessly and complaining to myself that I have no one to communicate to. There are so many people that I know that are going through the same sort of emotions and events, or even worse, and yet they manage to be as brave as possible and move forward, putting their energy into things that they love to do. After a recent post that I've made today in the life advice section, and thinking about how I've been going through this routine of not having a constructive outlet and that ultimately leading to my feelings worsening, I realized that the easiest thing to do was to just do something that I can commit to every day that I wouldn't mind doing and stop putting energy into my problems, but to put energy into moving past them.
     
    So, I've decided to make this blog and to make a post about some random topic every day. Some of them might be rants, others might be short stories, or reviews, or anything that i feel like talking about. If you enjoy reading any of that, then I invite you to read up on this blog.
     
    To close this entry off, I'd like to link to one of my favorite songs: Scarlet Tempest from Ys vs. Sora no Kiseki. If you've never heard of Falcom or any of the games that they have developed, you're missing out (though that's only accentuated by the fact that they won't release most of their games outside of Japan ). If there is one thing about Falcom games that I love the most, it is the awesome soundtracks in each of their games.
     
    In any case, enjoy the song and have a good night, everyone!

    You know, most people recommend against what I've been doing recently when it comes to looking at other people. However, this is something that has bothered me for quite some time. I've been looking at the creative things that people have made here, such as artwork, stories, music, roleplay plots, etc. Really, anything that you could classify as "art," I've been having the urge to look at it. All the while, I've been asking myself this fundamental question:
     
    Why haven't I improved my ability to be "artistic?"
     
    Sure, every one of us has a particular passion that we follow in life. Some people go down the path of making "art," whether it be creating stories, making art, or doing anything that could fit into the field of "artistry." Some others, such as myself, go down a path that is, within the minds of most individuals and by definition, the antithesis of art (for example, I'm currently in college for chemical engineering.)
     
    Yet, in seeing all of the creative stuff that people have done, I've been wanting to get involved in that myself. No, I'm not saying that I want to give up being a chemical engineer; I love engineering too much to ever give up that dream. But, I feel as though that I haven't..."made" anything; I haven't taken the time out to create something that isn't entirely based in numbers, calculations, or theory...It's difficult to describe exactly what I mean because it is, at least for me, inherently difficult to describe what "art" really is.
     
    So, what exactly am I trying to get at in this blog? Well, I want to make art, whether it be writing a story or finally learning how to draw (which is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, even though I'm not great at it), but I have no idea where I should start. I'll be looking around the internet for resources on how to write and draw, but if anyone wants to give me any pointers, I would also appreciate that greatly.
     
    With that, I think I'll end this post. The song I'm leaving off with is the Poke Floats Theme from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Why? Because I love that stage, despite its tendency to unfairly kill players . Enjoy.
