It’s interesting to me (and has been noted by a few others) how you can see my mental state and health reflected in my art. I drew almost nothing Jan-March, but a huge, HUGE increase in September and on. 

Medication, a change of scenery, a good job, and the support of awesome friends and family make an ENORMOUS difference! 

Thanks for everything, guys! 2016 is on track to be totally amazing. <3

Quickly flipping through my daily sketch planner, since I don’t think I’ll be able to finish this year properly cause I’m still recovering. I might try this tiny planner/sketchbook again in 2017 but I don’t want to fall behind on 2016 before I even start.  

Thanks again for all the support this year. I wish I could reply to everyone but my messages have piled up so much it’s giving me a bit of stress haha @_@;;. I do read all of them though, so thank you guys for the emotional support.

im serious about that “stop saving things for special occasions” bit tho like. even if u aren’t in your 20s. thats for everyone. its one of the most useful things ive learned lately

stop! just stop. eat the special snack. drink the expensive hippie tea. use the incense or the bath bomb or whatever you paid way too much for because you were feeling really bad and retail therapy makes u feel alive

when we save things for special occasions/rainy days it contributes to us feeling like A.) our day to day existence is lackluster and B.) you have to be feeling a certain level of Bad, or have to reach a certain level of Socially Accepted Achievement, to enjoy things

just give yourself stuff. there are definitely sometimes reasons to withhold things from yourself – as motivation, if it’s something you consciously want to use sparingly, etc – but at least for me half the time it just turns into self-flagellation and also cool things and cool experiences and nice treats just collect dust while i wait for some fabled day when i convince myself i finally Deserve it

just fuckin give yourself stuff dude. life’s so mindblowingly short

my grandmother died having only used her china like twice in her life. during the year or so before her death, she was starting to package up and give things of hers to her kids, and gave mom the china while sighing “oh i wish i had used the china more!” and mom tried so hard to convince her to just keep it, then, and eat corny dogs off it if she wanted. she insisted she couldn’t possibly, you need a special reason to use the fine china.

when nana died, we used her fine china as our everyday dishes for years. i was 18 when she died, and never really stopped having that in the back of my head.

now, when i hear myself say “i wish i had a reason to wear/do/eat/use X!” i hear nana regretting never really using her china. and let me tell you a thing:

spaghettios taste great when eaten from fine china.

more good philosophies for 2016

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
