Yes! Yes! Gloomy dark evil sinful urges!

Are you fighting against them? Resisting them before tragedies are written

Like I really really need to throw myself under the shower.

Know what that's like.  

Me - feeling warmer than last week, weather has warmed up a bit which is nice.

I'm feeling SO happy, proud and honored that users think my friendship with @Ice Princess Silky <3 is one of the best on MLP Forums.🥹

[Azure Dawn 223]

I feel like I'm missing out as always. downer moment.

[Lnx1ynight16 1,036]

I’m okie now. I’m gonna make a new pfp since I had my current pfp since I believe August or September of 2024

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,926]

Sleepy, bedtime is important and no reason to put it off.  

[Crypty Scribbles 5,312]

I have a sad feeling that maybe it's a time to go further.

Maybe because I grew up significantly for the past year? Mabe because I'm feeling full of fantastic energy and looking where I could apply it while the world around is moving too slowly?

I don't know. I need to reflect on this feeling more...

[Bright Honor 2,695]

Pretty decent. Had a pretty decent sleep and now just enjoying the ol’ coffee n bagel.

What exactly do you mean by go further? 


Tonight I'm feeling alright, sure I get the nagging feeling I didn't do "enough" but this weekend I was at least a little productive in terms of art and guitar, crazy how fast the weekends fly by.

[Azure Dawn 223]

gosh I want more weekend. It feels like I can barely make it through the week.

[Tao 7,954]

Pretty Good,  I have plans to hang with a friend today.  

[DubWolf 17,353]

Annoyed. Again my already nonexistent patience being tested for the 47393th time. Know what happens when you have no patience but you get tested anyways? Your head is being brushed against the asphalt from a moving vehicle until it stops.

[Ice Princess Silky <3 14,547]

Excited and happy! What an exhilarating feeling. But I have too many things to do and I hope I do not allow some things to be forgotten. 

Lots of projects. But I feel behind in some other things that I should incorporate (even here on the forums)

Warning: Negativity. I don't want to dampen anyone's spirits.

Spoiler

I suddenly feel as though the things I have done were not great. My art, in this case. I've given gifts to many people. Today, my mother told me the reason why she wanted me to learn AI was to generate..coloring books and things of that sort. Was the art I already made just not good enough? Is she trying to say that what I can do just won't ever be enough because some people want to color in humans with fifteen arms? I don't mean to offend those who do like AI art, it's just it doesn't make sense. I've made her gifts, drawings at that and I always felt that she didn't appreciate them. She doesn't. Maybe I should stop making it. I don't know what to say, that's all I guess..

NO! Do not give up on your art! One person's negative opinion doesn't matter, if you like it and the majority who have seen it like it, then you should continue doing what you enjoy

Oh no... let me tell you something, if you have no interest in AI, and want to continue making art the way you want, then you definitely should say "no" to her, that's what you want? A month ago, my mother also suggested me to learn AI, but I didn't say "no" to her. I'm prepared to say it the next time she touches the subject, and you think you should do the same if that's you what you believe. Don't stop making what you love to do, don't care about others' opinions. Your comment in no way offend those who like AI, you're being very respectful, you're just saying what you like to do. I don't even try to fight against AI, for me this is not a battle I can win, but that doesn't mean I don't despise it, I continue ignoring it and continue making art the way I like. Please follow your heart and don't stop with your drawings. If I, in the state I'm in, can ignore AI and have the strength to still make normal art, then you can as well. ~☆

Thank you both..I appreciate it. I promise I won't give up and I'll...do my best on voicing how I feel about what she said.

What I am sensing here is the sadness of an artist's heart where you put your heart and soul into something and then feel as though something as "soul-less" and empty as an AI merely .. mimicking or calculating certain appearances is somehow "more valued." 

It appears your mother may be approaching this skill of your from a more lucrative manner? Typical parental behavior. They want to see their child thrive and make money but perhaps she is not going about this in the right way. I apologize if I am misreading the situation, it is merely my two cents. Ultimately, you know her better than I do. Just, please know that I treasure each and every art piece you have ever made for me and it Is why I have offered to reciprocate. I know you put heart and soul into it so I wish to also do the same for you one day when you are interested 

Other than that, please do not give up. Sometimes, parents can be so clueless about their intentions.
That is what I feel, anyway.

Thank you for this..I think you understood this situation well. I'm not going to give up. You all just encouraged me to keep going.

[Lnx1ynight16 1,036]

I don’t know what I’m feeling. I feel sort of happy but I’m also feeling a bit emotionless. Lately, I’ve been in need in bed more than usual since February break had started. I’ve been feeling more withdrawn lately with irl people. I fear that I may be depressed again, but the last time I was depressed was in 7th grade… idk? Maybe I’m just being a bit paranoid.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,844]

Pretty good. Just winding down from my day and relaxing to make sure that I get a good night's sleep.

[Dawnshine Wonder 246]

I'm feeling like I should use Ubuntu as my primary OS. Windows 11 is taking up too much memory from just casual web browser use, most of the memory is taken up my background tasks and most of the apps on startup are disabled. It wasn't that long ago I got this computer. Microsoft is very sloppy when it comes to OS optimization.

Ubuntu does the same thing for far less memory usage. Only downside about Linux distros is compatibility, without that weakness I would've been on Linux already.
