People keep telling me that I&#8217;ll eventually find my place with people that think like me and are interested in similar things, but I sincerely doubt it. I&#8217;ve only come marginally close to people who perceive things in a way that matches mine&#8230; but again, emphasis on the marginally. It&#8217;s almost tangential. I think it&#8217;s the most crucial thing though, that separates us: others do work\/make Art because it makes them happy, or gives them a sense of accomplishment. That dopamine rush. I make things to temporarily empty my brain and stop feeling things for a moment. It&#8217;s a relief when it&#8217;s out, but here&#8217;s the thing\u2014the absence of pain does not automatically mean happiness.<\/p>\n<p>I finished my schoolwork for this semester. There&#8217;s only one left before graduation, which is spooky to think about. If you were to ask me how I feel about it, I could fire off any number of single-word responses. In reality, I don&#8217;t have any real feelings about it. More relief? That&#8217;s only temporary.<\/p>\n<p>Also! As is maybe a common theme every winter break, I am feeling Not Great and I am having trouble sleeping. Big surprise, lots of fun, and I see the sun for about an hour everyday before I fall asleep. Truly amazing.<\/p>\n<p>So! In the new year, I&#8217;ll probably continue these posts. Maybe I&#8217;ll use them as an excuse to write about other things, since I end up just giving a rather sad (read: pathetic) update about my student life alone in a big city (that&#8217;s a joke). Not much else to say now. It&#8217;s been kind of cold recently, but not too bad yet. Everything&#8217;s like&#8230; mostly okay. I&#8217;m just tired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u51ac\u81f3\u3002 I&#8217;m still feeling varied degrees of dissatisfaction with my work and the school I go to in general.
