I used to think that those thoughts were because I had some moral flaw or something that led me to &#8220;obsess&#8221; over situations, but turns out that I just have a lot of faulty wiring. Maybe the obsessions will lead to good stuff, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>I was teaching a class of 11-12 y\/os how to draw a chibi catgirl today, and I heard a lot of them ask how I could draw stuff so fast. &#8220;How do you do that? How do you free-draw like that? Tell me your secrets!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hmm&#8230; I have a lot of secrets. Secrets pertaining to why I can do certain things so well, at least. I practice in secret, take photos of myself in secret to use as reference, spend a lot of time watching videos and reading books to learn things&#8230; if you do something repeatedly, you&#8217;re bound to be fast at it eventually.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m not very good at drawing. I&#8217;m not very good at a lot of things, actually, but I can wing it well enough (I hope). I&#8217;m also not as knowledgeable as I would like to be. My high school art teacher asked me a few days ago who my favourite contemporary artists are, and I drew a blank. I don&#8217;t know enough about baking and I keep flipping back to the same recipes every few weeks. I wish I could memorize everything!<\/p>\n<p>After I got home from my little excursion, I&#8217;ve been really throwing myself into the whole Master Plan. I feel stupid and silly every night (like a child that&#8217;s mildly aware of having embarrassed themselves or their parents, but not really sure the magnitude of the issue), but when I wake up I just force myself to keep moving. Who knows, maybe this will work out. I can&#8217;t imagine it either failing or working well. I can&#8217;t imagine anything anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I helped out with judging the science fair projects at my old high school earlier this week. That also felt surreal. I enjoyed the coffee a lot though&#8230; not many other people drank it.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have a lot to say this time. I haven&#8217;t had a spare quiet hour to write lately due to how packed the past week and a half have been. I love being busy, but I didn&#8217;t get to spend enough time with my own projects. Balance is hard. Hopefully I&#8217;ll have a little more for next time. Until then.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/6b727500da8c7131a60c5401af62f685\/f4ecb0a105be1407-27\/s1280x1920\/335f19dbfe11dab095a8158243af67d44d61d9bf.jpg\" width=\"1050\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u96e8\u6c34\u3002 So lately I&#8217;ve just been Doing Things without really thinking as much as I used to.
