My whole life has always been living under the shadow of someone else. My younger brother's IQ is 135, while mine is only 116, he was graduated with honors and currently works as a chief software developed for a multinational corporation, while I was a college dropout who has spent the last decade in shitty jobs and using drugs. Nearly all of my favorite artists are also better than me while younger, sometimes much younger, and have already reached levels that would take me entire years to get on pair with. My ex boyfriend's new boyfriend is an artist who makes nearly 100K in patreon every month, and that guy is 2 years younger than me. Sometimes I just really want to pull the trigger ya know.

Hear this from someone who was born with an extraordinary talent. Written language has been excessively easy for me. When I was 11 I was already writing my first complete novels. By the time I was 15 teachers at school would call my writings "post-graduate level". I always watched, with sadist delight, how everyone else struggled at learning new languages or being able to organize their thoughts to summarize in papers. Very few people out there can read as fast as I can. During my youth this made me falsely believe that I was also gifted in other areas. It was a great punch to my ego to find out that writing is the only extraordinary thing I can do. Now that I am learning to draw, I feel what most people feel when reading or writing. My brain simply can't twirl and fly with ecstasy-inducing sequences as it does when writing. When I draw I feel like a mentally retarded individual trying to understand quantum physics. And God placed me in a world in where stories and novels have so little demand in comparison to artwork and other forms of visual arts. When confronting the learning process of artwork, I can't but feel small and insignificant. At times I even feel I do worse than the average person. I live on, knowing that even after I reach my peak, it won't be as high as the peak of a natural born painter. Life is a miserable joke.

Bought a pen display last week to get into digital and holy fuck, the anti glare protector gets scratched so easily, I'm fairly sure I'm applying less than one third of the allowed pressure with all of my strokes and yet the protector already looks scratched in several points. Is this normal so early on?
